Determine if Property is in the Designated Coastal Management Area

Ottawa CountyMap: Designated Coastal Management Area Ottawa County

To find out if a property in Lucas County is located within the designated Coastal Management Area, follow these steps:
  1. Estimate the property's location on the county map above which has a series of numbered boxes along the landward most border of the designated Coastal Management Area.

  2. Estimate if the property falls within a numbered box, lakeward of a numbered box or landward of a numbered box.

    • If the property falls lakeward of a numbered box (between the numbered box and the water shown as light blue on the map), it is likely within the designated Coastal Management Area. Please note that all islands in Ohio's portion of Lake Erie are included in the designated Coastal Management Area.
    • If the property falls landward of a numbered box, it is likely outside of the designated Coastal Management Area, but still within the Lake Erie Watershed.
    • If a property falls inside a numbered box, select the numbered box for a more detailed map.

  3. On the detailed maps, land located within the designated Coastal Management Area is highlighted in light blue with a dashed blue-white line designating the boundary. (County boundary lines appear as orange highlights over black lines.)

  4. If you are still unsure as to whether a property is located within the designated Coastal Management Area, the Appendices section of the on-line Ohio Coastal Management Program Document contains a written description of the boundary; or contact the Office of Coastal Management at 419-626-7980
