The Ohio Lake Erie Commission was established for the purpose of preserving
Lake Erie's natural resources, protecting the quality of its waters and
ecosystem, and promoting economic development in the region. The director of
the Ohio Department of Natural Resources serves as the commission's
chairman.  Additional members include the directors of the state departments
of Transportation, Health, Development, Agriculture and the Ohio
Environmental Protection Agency.
 
The commission also oversees the Ohio Lake Erie Protection Fund, which is
the source of grant money for projects that benefit the Lake Erie watershed
economically and environmentally. This fund is supported by Ohioans who
purchase a Lake Erie license plate displaying the Marblehead Lighthouse or
Toledo Harbor Lighthouse designed by Ohio artist Ben Richmond.
