In October 2022, CUTL completed the first phase of a circumnavigated SCUBA cleanup of Fallen Leaf Lake, removing 7,946 LBS from its lakebed in just 4.5 miles. This second phase will complete the remainder of the lake’s circumference, which has proved to be one of the dirtiest lakes we’ve cleaned.
Our team will continue to record photographic, video & GPS data on all invasive species & algal bloom issues seen around the entire circumference of Fallen Leaf.
Our team will use our freshwater adaptation of the United Nations (UNEP) Marine Litter Categorization system to record data on all litter removed. The team will then draw conclusions on remediation requirements for future years.
