The House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio has adopted a resolution honoring The Ohio State University Stone Laboratory on its centennial anniversary. Established in 1895 and purchased by OSU in 1925, the Stone Laboratory is recognized as the longest-running freshwater biological field station in the United States. Located on Gibraltar Island near Put-in-Bay Harbor, it has made significant contributions to the study of Lake Erie’s unique ecosystems and has played a crucial role in addressing environmental issues such as toxic algal blooms and invasive species. The laboratory has also been instrumental in educating students and the community about biological sciences.

The resolution acknowledges the Stone Laboratory's achievements over the past century and emphasizes its importance as an educational asset within the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. The members of the House express their confidence in the laboratory's continued excellence and its vital role in fostering understanding of natural sciences. The resolution concludes with congratulations to the Stone Laboratory on its milestone and best wishes for its future success, along with a directive for the Clerk of the House to transmit an authenticated copy of the resolution to the laboratory.
