You’ve heard it before: aquatic invasive species are the greatest ecological threat to Lake Tahoe. The threat is most visible in the warm, shallow lagoons of the Tahoe Keys, where invasive plants clog the water. As the weeds break apart and float away, they can infect other areas of the Lake.
To Keep Tahoe Blue, the League is working to put the Keys infestation in check.
After a decade of planning and study led by our team, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association, and Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, the Tahoe Keys Control Methods Test was launched in 2022. The goal of the test is to identify the best approach for controlling aquatic weeds and preventing them from spreading further into the Lake.
This fall, year two of the three-year test was completed. The project team compiled a special report to share what happened between May and September of 2023. We encourage you to check it out and do your part to tackle invasive species in the Lake.
