The Friends perform many activities to support Stone Laboratory and the Ohio Sea Grant College Program. We strive to promote a better understanding of Stone Laboratory’s achievements and the use of the laboratory’s resources and services, both within and outside the university. We assist with outreach activities to inform the general public on Lake Erie and environmental issues. We have established a number of endowments to support scholarships, equipment purchases, visiting professors, and researchers. We participate in numerous special events that directly benefit the laboratory’s research, education, and outreach programs in addition to its facilities.
Below is a short description of our activities. The most current information about these events is available on our events page.
