ASHTABULA , Ohio — Those who enjoy Lake Erie in Ashtabula and Lake counties will notice less of a presence by the U.S. Coast Guard this summer.

When pressed on what that looks like, News 5 was told there is not a set schedule; however, local officials in Ashtabula told News 5 they're anticipating aid from the U.S. Coast Guard Friday through Sunday and for major holidays."We understand they believe a two hour response time is acceptable," he said."But we all know standing on the shores when something is happening, to say to a family member that in two hours they’ll be here, that’s not acceptable.

Timonere said throughout the county, the fear of closure forced them to invest and increase training for their own water rescue teams. A spokesperson with the USCG added that their station in Fairport Harbor is now classified as a"scheduled mission station," with limited staff around the clock.
