The Fresh Coast Project: To capture the Great Lakes on film prior to the cessation of film
Mission Statement:
The Fresh Coast Project was created by photographer Ed Wargin to capture the Great Lakes as one complete and compelling story on film while branding the Great Lakes as one bi-national region. Our purpose is to provide visual context to the challenges and opportunities we will encounter in forthcoming years.

Through our imagery, stories, and media, we aim to share the magnificent beauty of our Great Lakes with citizens of the Great Lakes basin and beyond, and to show the global community that our Great Lakes, as one ecosystem, is a true wonder of the world. We promote travel, exploration, education, enjoyment and celebration of the Great Lakes, and strive to cultivate an active role of nurturing this region by passing forward to our youth a genuine legacy of concern, gratitude, pride and stewardship.

Where: The breadth and size of the Fresh Coast consists of over 10,000 miles of shoreline running along the shores of Ontario, Canada; and the American states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. It is home to more than 35 million residents.

Why?: Due to the baseline measure that film offers by giving us an actual piece of tangible and indisputable evidence, it became imperative to capture the entire Fresh Coast on film prior to the dissolution of transparency film as a medium.

"The vision of The Fresh Coast Project is to inspire future generations of leaders, teachers, students, stewards, legislators, artists, scientists and citizens to be mindful, aware, and reflective about this vast resource. It is to promote enjoyment and celebration, respect and concern. We hope that this particular body of work encourages people to visit, explore, and live in this wonderful region. These are truly the magnificent Great Lakes, and this is a tribute to them." saids Ed WarginWe posted other amazing video with Ed Wargin, do not lose it:
