New York’s Eastern Lake Ontario Dune and Wetland System:
Guidelines for Resource Management in the 21st Century

The Eastern Lake Ontario Dune and Wetland System is a unique and irreplaceable natural area that blends barrier beaches and sand dunes, wetlands and embayments, nearshore lake waters, the mainland shoreline and its surrounding watershed.

The Department of State and other agencies and organizations have partnered in a number of special planning and management initiatives to guide the conservation and beneficial use of the Eastern Lake Ontario Dune and Wetland System. Those initiatives are described in the document, New York’s Eastern Lake Ontario Dune and Wetland System: Guidelines for Resource Management in the 21st Century.

  The document, made possible through a grant from the Department of State to the Oswego County Soil and Water Conservation District, also sets forth a Stewardship Vision for the future use and conservation of the Eastern Lake Ontario Dune and Wetland System and a strategy for achieving that vision.

New York’s Eastern Lake Ontario Dune and Wetland System: Guidelines for Resource Management in the 21st Century was prepared with Great Lakes Coastal Watershed Restoration Program funding appropriated by Congress and provided through the Coastal Management Act of 1972, as amended, and administered by the NOAA Office of Coastal Resource Management, in conjunction with the New York State Coastal Management Program.
