The Ohio Coastal Training Program (CTP), a partnership of the Ohio Lake Erie Commission, Ohio Sea Grant College Program, Ohio Coastal Management Program, and Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve, provides training on stormwater management and land use decision-making for local communities, including such topics as public involvement, environmental regulations and permitting, urban redevelopment, and natural resource protection practices.

To help in planning future training sessions, the Ohio CTP is gathering input from local government officials and professional staff regarding their specific training needs. If you are an official (elected, appointed, professional, or consultant) for a community, county, or region within the Lake Erie watershed, please take a few minutes to inform us of your priorities by completing the survey before close of business Monday, March 23 at www.coastaltrainingohio.net.

Your feedback and insight are greatly appreciated.

For more information regarding the survey, contact Joe Lucente, Ohio Sea Grant College Program, at 419.213-2028 or lucente.6@osu.edu.
