The collaborative effort to develop a new Shoreline Plan for Lake Tahoe reached a major milestone earlier this fall with the kickoff of the plan's environmental review process. This Shoreline Plan will provide key guidance around the future construction of boat ramps, piers and buoys, while providing appropriate environmental standards to protect Tahoe's shoreline. The League is advocating for reduced impacts from boating and reasonable access during low lake level conditions, which are exacerbated by climate change.

When the League decided to support the 2012 Regional Plan Update for the Lake Tahoe Basin, one of the most compelling reasons was the new plan's emphasis on driving environmental restoration through private, lake-friendly redevelopment. After a slow start, construction is finally underway at the first such  commercial redevelopment site in South Lake Tahoe's tourist core. 

This year alone, the League's volunteer cleanups removed 2,000 pieces of polystyrene from Tahoe's shoreline and neighborhoods. Disposable polystyrene products can include foam coolers and single-use cups. These products can pose a harm to wildlife when left on Tahoe's beaches. The City of South Lake Tahoe is considering options to reduce or end the use of many polystyrene products in the city. If you agree it's a good idea to find ways to keep polystyrene litter out of Lake Tahoe,   let the City know.
