EXPLORATION OF SUBMERGED LITTER AT DEEPER DEPTHS
This will be our first official exploration of litter at deeper depths under the surface of Lake Tahoe (+/-75 feet and +/-45 feet) and removing submerged litter within diver-identified hot spots.
MONITORING 20 NEVADA HOT SPOTS
Re-visit, re-clean, and document changes across 20 of the most littered nearshore GPS identified hot spots in Nevada from the 72 mile clean up. This includes monitoring and removing new litter in zones we cleaned two summers prior as well as exploring deeper zones of these hot spots.
MORE DATA COLLECTION & COMPARISON
Working with our environmental scientist & partners we will compare and analyze trends in litter accumulation rates, transport, collection and more to better understand the submerged litter issues in Lake Tahoe.
