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.

Notes

Notes
01/23/2024 7:19 AM Dennis Zabaglo AIS Program partners continue to strategize a treatment plan, recognizing the project will require a long term commitment of resources and funds due to the complexity, made even more so as a result of New Zealand mudsnails being discovered in the area.
01/30/2023 8:47 AM Dennis Zabaglo Due to the infestation complexity and direct connection to the infestation in the Ski Run Marina, AIS Program partners believe address both infestations in a coordinated fashion will yield the best results. The partnership is discussion options for treatment in 2023 or 2024.
