Project NePTWNE

Vision

Our vision is to Create a Community of Lake Erie Stewards through Education and Engagement. 

Mission

Our mission is to improve water quality through Lake Erie MEASUREMENTS that inform MITIGATION and MANUFACTURED solutions to anthropogenic (human-caused) impacts leading to an enhanced quality of life and a revitalized Erie economy.
