Videos About Lake Erie, Ohio's Coastal Resources and Watershed




04/04/2011

Aquatic Invaders – Disrupting the Balance is the third video in a series of eight produced by WGTE working with the Ohio Lake Erie Partnership for Education, Research and Grants. In this video, researchers explain how aquatic invasive species have changed Lake Erie. This video features Jeff Tyson of the ODNR Division of Wildlife Sandusky Fish Research Unit, Chris Winslow - a researcher at Ohio Sea Grant’s Stone Lab, and Gary Fahnenstiel – NOAA/GLERL Lake Michigan Field Station Senior Ecologist.






03/31/2011

Wetlands Breaking Down Pollution is the second video in a series of eight produced by WGTE working with the Ohio Lake Erie Partnership for Education, Research and Grants. In this video, we explore how pollutants are broken down in wetlands and how individuals can help reduce pollutants from entering our rivers and streams. Learn how technical advancements such as Ultra Sound, and naturally occurring sunlight, can break down mercury, pesticides, antibiotics and other chemicals before they reach Lake Erie. This video features Yu-Ping Chin, a researcher and professor at The Ohio State Univesity School of Earth Sciences , and Linda K. Weavers, the Co-director Water Rescores Center and John C. Geupel Professor at The Ohio State University in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Geodetic Studies.





02/08/2011

Protecting Wetlands for Clean Water is the first in a series of eight produced by WGTE working with the Ohio Lake Erie Partnership for Education, Research and Grants. In this video we explore the value of wetlands, their role in keeping Lake Erie clean and how individuals like you can help protect them. Learn how the data from a monitoring program at Old Woman Creek, an estuary in Huron, Ohio, aids researchers in developing strategies to reduce pollutants from entering the watershed.

Eighteen million tons of sodium chloride - salt - is scattered on U.S. roadways in a bad winter. That's enough to fill 1 million truckloads. The salt on the roads comes from well under them. CBS News took a five-minute elevator ride down 1,800 feet into a sprawling salt mine below the city of Cleveland. This CBS Evening News feature story focuses on one of the two salt mines beneath Lake Erie - the other being the Morton Salt Mine offshore of Fairport Harbor. Both companies by royalties to the state of Ohio for mining salt from beneath the bed of Lake Erie. Those royalties help fund the Office of Coastal Management and grant programs that benefit Ohio's Coastal communities, counties and watershed.
