OUTREACH

Author: Hayley Meyer (Ohio Sea Grant)

As Stone Lab celebrates 100 years at Gibraltar Island this year, the anniversary provides a moment to appreciate the laboratory’s years of crucial outreach work across Lake Erie.

“Sea Grant does a great job of communicating the work that we do,” said Travis Hartman, Lake Erie Fisheries Program Administrator for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. “In a lot of cases, it is complex, scientific work, but it’s got to be boiled down so anglers can understand the value of managing the fishery and understanding the ecosystem. Stone Lab’s a key part of that.”
