Overview

Basics

Basics
This project captures the effort to maintain the weed-free status of previously treated Aquatic Invasive Plant (AIP) Control sites that meet the criteria of Surveillance or Long-term monitoring, as well as the effort to maintain up-to-date mapping and data on known AIP Control sites. The proclivity of Eurasian watermilfoil and curly-leaf pondweed to spread through fragmentation indicates that fully treated AIP Control sites are at risk of reinfestation as long as there as a source of fragments in the lake-wide system. Surveillance and Site Assessments are an integral action to meeting the goals of the AIS Action Agenda and EIP Threshold Standards.

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.
