The aquatic plant removal implemented at Tahoe Vista boat launch is part of a multi-year lake-wide strategy to remove aquatic invasive plants from the nearshore of Lake Tahoe Basin. Eurasian watermilfoil was detected at the boat launch in 2016. Contracted divers installed lake-bottom barriers in 2017 and 2018 to control this infestation. From 2018-2020, divers conducted surveillance monitoring to ensure that a re-infestation of Eurasian watermilfoil does not develop at this site. Funding dependent, this site will be monitored according to the Lake Tahoe Aquatic Plant Monitoring Program (2020).

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.

| 01/12/2021 4:19 PM | Mollie Hurt | In 2020, divers detected no rooted aquatic invasive plants during surveillance monitoring surveys conducted in June, July, August, and October. | ||
| 01/15/2020 4:49 PM | Mollie Hurt | In 2019, divers surveyed 0.4 acres at the Tahoe Vista boat launch where Eurasian watermilfoil was previously detected and treated. No rooted aquatic invasive plants were detected during the surveys. | ||
