Lake Tahoe, CA

LAKE TAHOE - CA MONITORING PROJECT

Project Goals

EXPLORATION OF SUBMERGED LITTER AT DEEPER DEPTHS

This will be our second official exploration of litter at deeper depths under the surface of Lake Tahoe (+/-70 feet and +/-45 feet) and removing submerged litter found there while analyzing the litter accumulation trends in these areas.

MONITORING & CLEANING 10 CALIFORNIA HOT SPOTS

Our team will remediate and monitor litter accumulation patterns and behaviors at ten of the most litter hot spots along the California shoreline identified during the 72-mile cleanup. These hot spots have been selected by analyzing the data collected & choosing the most littered zones near GPS-located diver-identified hot spots.

DATA COLLECTION & COMPARISON OVER YEARS

We will work closely with our environmental scientist staff to compare and analyze trends in litter accumulation rates, transport, collection, and more to better understand the submerged litter issues in Lake Tahoe.
