Hosted by the Lake Erie and Aquatic Research Network (LEARN), this webinar will highlight updates for the H2Ohio Wetland Monitoring Program. Specific topics include: How invisible processes in wetlands can work to limit polluting nutrients that fuel harmful algal blooms How scientists from throughout Ohio are studying H2Ohio wetland restoration projects to inform future efforts Preliminary data from early […]
Single-use plastic bags are everywhere in society, but despite their convenience, they can have negative impacts on the environment and on waste management. Farmers markets seem like a logical place to encourage the use of reusable bags, but when Jill Bartolotta and Dr. Scott Hardy at Ohio Sea Grant examined the effects of giving out […]
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), including antibiotics, are emerging contaminants in water that are not completely eliminated during water treatment. Because these compounds can affect human and wildlife health, it’s important to assess their presence in drinking and wastewater. Dr. Jen Mou and Dr. Laura Leff at Kent State University are developing new methods […]
Share your reflections on progress being made toward a more swimmable, fishable and drinkable Lake Erie, St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair and Detroit River. This meeting date is specific to Lake Erie. As part of its responsibilities under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the International Joint Commission (IJC) seeks public input on the […]
Beach visits play an important role in Ohio’s $15 billion tourism industry, but water quality issues like harmful algal blooms and E. coli outbreaks can negatively affect beachgoers and discourage them from returning to a favorite spot. The economic impact of these water quality issues is not well understood yet, but estimates of this reduced […]
During this webinar Dr. Donna Hill from EPA’s Office of Research and Development will provide an overview of health effects seen in humans and animals from freshwater cyanotoxin blooms as well as the completed and planned cyanotoxin research in their EPA lab.
Stone Laboratory and Ohio Sea Grant at The Ohio State University will host a live web event for NOAA’s annual HABs Forecast for western Lake Erie on June 29 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET. In addition to the official forecast, the event will feature spring nutrient loading and projections along with expert commentary […]
Join us for a virtual workshop to learn more about the H2Ohio program, which focuses on agriculture best management practices, restoring and enhancing wetlands, upgrading outdated water infrastructure, and replacing lead pipes. We'll then discuss ODNR's H2Ohio noncompetitive grant program. You will receive a link to the meeting after your RSVP has been received. RSVP […]

The Great Lakes PFAS Summit will bring together environmental program managers, policy experts, researchers, and contractors from around the Great Lakes region to share new methods of addressing this contamination and present innovative technical solutions developed to address these “forever” chemicals. Participants may include local, state, and federal government officials; environmental consultants and vendors; academic […]
Great Lakes researchers generate a wealth of data to help understand and solve thorny regional challenges. Several tools exist to help researchers share their data to improve regional collaboration and knowledge. Learn about GLOS, GLAMR, and other powerful databases and tools in an upcoming webinar, hosted by Michigan Sea Grant and partners. Attendees will also […]
