Aquatic Invasive Plant Control Program

Tahoe RCD has had a productive season combating aquatic invasive plants across Lake Tahoe. Contracted dive teams surveyed 24 control sites (372 acres), with three more site assessments covering 170 acres planned for October. Divers visited 14 current and past plant infestation sites and conducted light hand removal at 6 of those locations to maintain their weed-free status. From May through September, divers also removed 11,000 gallons of plants and 19,805 individual plants at Pope Marsh and Emerald Bay.
