Stone Laboratory 2000: Program Review

Stone Laboratory, founded in 1895 and located on the 6.5-acre Gibraltar Island in the harbor at Put in-Bay, Ohio, is Ohio's Lake Erie laboratory, the oldest freshwater biological field station in the country, and the north coast campus of The Ohio State University. The year 2000 was very productive at Stone Laboratory. This report briefly reviews the past year, beginning with a program overview, followed by a discussion of the history of the Laboratory, and concludes with a more in depth discussion including "Milestones in the History of Stone Laboratory." The figures summarize the past 12-20 years, while the tables cover only 2000, adding to similar tables in reports produced in 1999,1998, 1997 (covering the period 1995-97),and 1995 (covering the period 1988-94.)
