The League to Save Lake Tahoe has offered to fund a portion of a study of methods that might finally address a decades-old infestation of aquatic invasive plants in the lagoons of the Tahoe Keys, adjacent to Lake Tahoe.
Aquatic invasive plants in the lagoons of the Tahoe Keys are growing out of control and are spreading to the west, east and north shores of Lake Tahoe. Unchecked, they threaten to destroy Lake Tahoe's ecology, pristine water quality and famous clarity. The League has offered to support a scientific test, which would be conducted in a small section of the Keys lagoons --- those furthest from the Lake and to be separated by an impermeable barrier --- to determine whether a combination of mechanical and chemical treatments can bring the infestation under control before more of the plants spread to the Lake.
