The Lake Erie Ohio Communities and Coastal Resiliency grant program focused on reducing erosion, increasing shoreline stability and habitat, and protecting communities along Lake Erie from changing water levels.

The Ohio Lake Erie Commission awarded $893,000 to seven communities along the Lake Erie shoreline in Ohio. Funding was provided by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative in early 2024.
