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.

Sign up for emails: This list is for Ohio State University (OSU) Extension clientele interested in matters related to pond or lake management. Its creation was prompted by a small list of initial requesters/subscribers at Farm Science Review in September 2017 and a collaborative lake-management outreach project funded by OSU CARES in 2016–17.
