LAKE TAHOE — In what officials are calling a fortunate coincidence, regional boat inspectors last week intercepted a vessel with more than 40 adult zebra mussels on it from entering Lake Tahoe.

Lake Tahoe – This April, the League to Save Lake Tahoe will partner with Aveda’s Earth Month 2012 campaign in which local Northern California and Nevada Aveda salons raise money to help Keep Tahoe Blue.

Lake Tahoe clarity improved in 2011, but overall has remained nearly stable since 2000, according to UC Davis scientists who study the lake. 

Tahoe yellow cress (Rorippa subumbellata) is a rare plant that only grows on the shores of Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada and is a candidate for listing under the federal Endangered Species Act. By protecting Tahoe yellow cress now we can prevent it from becoming federally endangered and avoid further restrictions to protect the plant.

The League is a constant presence watching out for the lake and urging decision makers to do the right thing. Our watchdog efforts include researching development plans for flaws and loopholes, to ensure these projects comply with rules to protect Lake Tahoe. We also work to secure funding for river and watershed restoration and conduct outreach about the environmental challenges facing Lake Tahoe.

Have you heard that "nothing ever happens in Tahoe"? In fact, the TRPA approves nearly every development project that comes before it. Find out more in this snapshot of development that has been approved over the last 10 to 15 years.

The consensus among scientists is that we need to drastically reduce the amount of pollution entering the lake to stop or reverse Lake Tahoe’s clarity loss.
