Ponds, Fisheries and Aquatic Management

The Ohio State University's Extension Program in Ponds, Fisheries and Aquatic Management offers programming to enrich your experience wherever your life intersects with water. 

Ohio's ponds, lakes, wetlands, streams and other waters, from the most modest of intermittent brooks to the international expanse of Lake Erie, constitute beautifully complex living laboratories where communities of fish, plants and plankton interact with their aquatic domains. We are dedicated to helping conserve and manage fisheries, water quality and simple aesthetics to benefit Ohioans and future generations.
