Basics
In 2015, the AIS Implementation Plan (Plan) and associated Action list prioritized projects for AIS control. Meeks Bay Marina is prioritized in the Plan because Eurasian watermilfoil occupy this habitat in the Marina. This project focuses on removal of the Eurasian watermilfoil infestation and associated monitoring. A contract was awarded in 2019 to initiate removal efforts of approximately three acres of invasive weeds in the footprint of the marina and upstream to the SR89 bridge. Treatment occurred 2019 through 2022. The treatment area is now in control monitoring to ensure it remains weed free. The project is expected to move to surveillance monitoring after 2025.

Threshold Categories
-
Removal of AIS will contribute to improved fish habitat within Lake Tahoe for native fish and reduce habitat for invasive fish which prey on native fish and disrupt the natural food chain.
-
This project will improve water quality by removing aquatic invasive plants, a known contributor to decreased lake clarity.
