Once a vibrant freshwater ecosystem, Lake Erie has faced decades of environmental challenges, from harmful algal blooms to industrial pollution and declining fish populations. With communities, conservationists, and policymakers rallying to restore its health, the story of Lake Erie is one of both crisis and resilience. But telling this evolving story in a compelling, data-driven way has been a challenge—until now. By transforming raw environmental data into a living, breathing digital experience, we demonstrate how visual storytelling can amplify advocacy, engage stakeholders, and drive meaningful action.
