The SHORE Line presents: Local Actions, Lake Erie Impact

S3, E7 Spring is right around the corner! On this episode of The SHORE Line, Jill sits down with Valerie Sasak from the Erie Soil and Water Conservation District to talk about protecting Lake Erie right here at home. They discuss the district’s day-to-day work, why clean water matters to both residents and visitors, and how local actions connect to the health of the lake we all enjoy. Valerie also shares details about upcoming community screenings of the documentary Ripples of Plastic and explains how plastic pollution and microplastics affect our shoreline. From volunteer cleanups to the “Lake Erie Starts Here” storm drain program, the conversation highlights simple ways anyone can make a difference in the Shores & Islands Ohio region.
