The $1.9 million Port Clinton Coastal Restoration Project – made possible through funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the City of Port Clinton, and support from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency – has restored 6 acres and an added 1.4 acres of expanded coastal wetlands along Ohio’s Lake Erie shoreline.
Spearheaded by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District, the project removed invasive plant species, like phragmites, across 12.2 acres and planted nearly 40,000 plugs of native plant species. The restoration of coastal wetland enhances biodiversity and supports migratory bird populations. This coastal investment improved local water quality and habitat while boosting the local economy by enhancing recreation opportunities and strengthening the resilience of the shoreline.
The project demonstrates the collaborative approach between federal, state, and local government to improve ecosystem health and serves as a model for future restoration projects in the Great Lakes region.

On Feb. 28, 2025, the Great Lakes Commission issued a request for proposals for projects that would help improve Great Lakes water quality by reducing nutrient loads from agricultural watersheds and eroding shorelines and streams. Indigenous Nations, nonfederal units of government, and incorporated nonprofit organizations are invited to apply for grants for up to $300,000 through the 2025 Great Lakes Sediment and Nutrient Reduction Program (GLSNRP) grant program.
For 34 years, grants provided by GLSNRP have enabled local partners to reduce nutrients and sediments entering the Great Lakes. 2025 applicants are invited to submit proposals for activities associated with one of the following project types: agricultural nonpoint, or stream/shoreline. Grants awarded through GLSNRP may support work over a period of up to four years.
