LINE OF DEFENSE
From the shores of Lake Erie to the world’s oceans, water is essential for livelihoods and a thriving economy. We all depend on water in many ways, which is why the Cleveland Monsters promote the health and natural beauty of water from the Cuyahoga River to Lake Erie all the way out to the ocean.
Together with our partners we are defending our life-giving water systems.
Cuyahoga County Fresh Water Institute
The Fresh Water Institute aims to catalyze and strengthen our region’s culture of freshwater stewardship to establish Cuyahoga County as the freshwater capital of the world.
The Fresh Water Institute is dedicated to increasing educational programming, growing our sustainable water economy, expanding access to our waterfronts, and advocating for our freshwater resources.
AquaMissions' purpose is to save and change lives by building trust and enhancing skills through introductory water experiences, safety instruction, and swim lessons for Greater Cleveland's youth.
