Ohio's Coastweeks
What is Ohio's Coastweeks? It is part of a national celebration of the nation's waters and shorelines held in the 50 states. Ohio's program focuses on the theme, "I Can Help Lake Erie" to encourage people to be part of the solution, not the pollution that finds its way into the lake. The debris collected at Ohio's cleanups and throughout the world is recorded on data cards and submitted to the Ocean Conservancy. Ohio is proud of be part of the International Coastal Cleanup program.
