Overview

Basics
An aquatic invasive plant survey was conducted along Nevada's shoreline, starting from Stateline on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe. Divers are systematically surveyed and removed any Eurasian watermilfoil and curly-leaf pondweed detected along the Shoreline and in select tributaries. Divers also specifically targeted the following locations during their surveys: Elk Point Rock Crib, Wovoka Estates Rock Crib, Logan Shoals Marina, Tahoe Beach Club and Lagoon, and Burke Creek at Nevada Beach. As of January 2023, historic and current plant infestation sites along the Nevada Shoreline are monitored in Project 1.03.01.0037 - Lake-wide Aquatic Invasive Plant Surveillance and Site Assessments.

Threshold Categories
-
Once Eurasian watermilfoil establishes as the dominant plant however, it can alter the habitat by trapping sediment and creating a more favorable environment for these plants and for the establishment of other invasive species, such as warm-water fish.
-
Dense growth of aquatic invasive plants can impede water flow, disrupt navigation, discourage recreation, negatively affect water quality, and reduce native plant diversity. Non-native plants can “pump” nutrients from the sediment to the overlying water column and contribute to increased phytoplankton and observed reductions in nearshore water clarity.
