The DIKE 14 COMMITTEE welcomes and is
open to all persons and organizations interested in
the conservation of the existing 88-acre Lake Erie
coastal wildlife area at Dike 14, for the benefit of
wildlife and people. Diverse habitats at Dike 14
provide essential sanctuary to significant numbers
and diversity of migratory birds as well as refuge
for nesting and resident birds and other wildlife.
Unique to Cleveland's shoreline, this wildlife area
provides the only quality habitat for migratory
birds along 100-miles of urbanized Lake Erie coast
between Huron and Mentor. The Dike 14 Committee
advocates the preservation of Dike 14 as a nature
preserve with judicious public access. Since
January 2001, the Dike 14 Committee has functioned
as a clearinghouse, an information source and a
point of contact for Dike 14 issues.
