  1. 2013 Outdoor Science Writers Workshop OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY Ohio Sea Grant Research Dr. Christopher J. Winslow Assistant Director, Ohio Sea Grant College Program August 27th, 2013

  2. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY What is Ohio Sea Grant? • NOAA’s role (not that easy) • One of 33 programs • Guided by a National Strategic Plan • 3E’s and 4 “Focus Areas” • Healthy Coastal Ecosystems • Sustainable Coastal Development • Safe and Sustainable Seafood Supply • Hazard Resiliency in Coastal Communities

  3. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY Healthy Coastal Ecosystems • # of stakeholders using ecosystem-based approaches in management • Number of acres of degraded ecosystems that have been restored with significant Ohio Sea Grant facilitation, research, or other support. • Number of communities that have restored degraded …

  4. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY Sustainable Coastal Development • # of coastal communities engaged in visioningand analysis of development policies that address the sustainability of economic and environmental resources  • #of coastal communities have adopted/implemented sustainable economic and environmental development practices  • Develop and/or adopt a way to measure the economic impact of sustainable coastal policies and practices.

  5. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY Safe and Sustainable Seafood Supply • # of people reached with education and outreach related to the Lake Erie fishery • Ohio Sea Grant will work with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and other partners to update a statewide Ohio Aquatic Invasive Species Management Plan.

  6. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY Hazard Resiliency in Coastal Communities • # of citizens provided with information and/or trained in local hazard resiliency and hazard mitigation tools, techniques, and best practices. • # of coastal communities that adopted and/or implemented hazard resiliency practices to prepare for and respond to/minimize coastal hazardous events.

  7. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY Critical Issues • Sediment and Dredging • Monitoring of HABs • The Deadzone

  8. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY Critical Issues • Nutrient management issues • Climate Change (Heidelberg’s data)

  9. Critical Issues OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY • Coastal and Economic Development (relationship with Ohio tourism) • Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS)

  10. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY • Four vesselsand Lab space (lake water and numerous tanks) • “New” Water Quality Lab • State-of-the-art sampling equipment (Sonar, Sondes, SCUBA, light meters, scopes, various sampling equipment)

  11. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY • Steelhead and white perch movements in Erie; Miner and Farver at BGSU • Great Lakes Coastal Storms Small Grant Program • Asian Carp Regional Outreach

  12. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY • Lake Erie Water Snake Recovery; Stanford at OSG • Copper in Marina sediments; Orlando (OSG Extension agent) and Winslow • Methane release associated with hypoxia/anoxia vs. natural underground deposits (Townsend at UC)

  13. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY • Socio-economic impacts of bird watching along Great Lakes; Xie; of BGSU • Leveraging natural amenities for sustainable development in the Great Lakes region;Partridge and Irwin of OSU

  14. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY • Rick Stumpf and NOAA….forecasting ability • Improving H2O quality monitoring in Western Basin; Adem (College of Charleston) and Ortiz (Kent State) • Goblerand Harke (SUNY Stony Brook) have NOAA grant to study Lake Erie Microcystisblooms

  15. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY • Genetic improvement of yellow perch • Hypoxia and internal loading in the W. Basin of Lake Erie • Wetland sampling on the Toussaintand in ONWR and CPWR

  16. OHIO SEA GRANT AND STONE LABORATORY Specific Projects Supported by Ohio Sea Grant • Bench-scale evaluation of in-situ ultrasonic remediation of contaminated sediments • Beneficial reuse of dredged material • Development and implementation of a new molecular test for active VHS infection in fish
