Every coastal state, including the Great Lakes states, has a Sea Grant program. The program in Ohio started in 1978, and is based at The Ohio State University. Stone Laboratory has been Ohio's Lake Erie laboratory since 1895. As a part of Ohio Sea Grant, it is located on Gibraltar Island at Put-in-Bay, and is the oldest freshwater biological field station in the country. Since its inception, Ohio Sea Grant has supported approximately 500 graduate and undergraduate students working on over 450 research projects that are supervised by over 250 investigators at over 20 colleges and universities. In the last 20 years, over 100,000 students from over 100 colleges have participated in the programs at Stone Laboratory. Ohio Sea Grant has awarded over 1000 scholarships to students studying at the Laboratory, and has constructed or assisted with the construction of 10 artificial reefs in Lake Erie near Cleveland. Sea Grant is a matching program, requiring a minimum of $0.50 from non-federal sources per federal dollar. Of particular interest are seven, interrelated, critical issues currently effecting Lake Erie and the Great Lakes: sedimentation, nutrient loading, harmful algal blooms (HABs), the "dead zone," aquatic invasive species, climate change, and coastal economic development. Dr. Reutter will look at these highly visible issues in terms of Sea Grant's role as a government, academia, private sector partnership that uses a combination of research, education, and outreach to address the 3 E's: the economy, the environment, and education. http://www.snre.umich.edu/assets/ciler/images/bottomhr.png Learn more about CILER online at ciler.snre.umich.edu <http://www.ciler.snre.umich.edu/> http://snre.umich.edu/assets/ciler/images/glerl.png <http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/> Sponsored in part by GLERL <http://www.glerl.noaa.gov> -- Sander Robinson Administrative Coordinator and Research Lab Specialist Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research (CILER) 4840 S.
