Ohio Attorney General to appeal court decision on Lake Erie waterfront land rights. 

The state modified land  boundaries based  on the waterline. Whether  waterline was set high, or low, changed your lotsize. There used to be some implied access priviledge, granting access to public water. (Fisher persons could be within 15(?) feet of waterline)  Marina  operators  and  boat  house owners  were also advised to seek submerged land leases for land they already occupied.  They  sued to get  their "land" back.
