The Ohio Coastal Atlas Project suite of resources was developed to provide coastal decision makers, professionals, educators, interest groups and the general public with information about Lake Erie and its watershed. The Office of Coastal Managment began developing the Ohio Coastal Atlas products in 2004. Without the valuable contributions of our partners, the project would not have been possible.
