Lake Tahoe Nearshore Evaluation and Monitoring Framework
Researchers from the Desert Research Institute, the University of Nevada Reno, and the University of California, Davis conducted a synthesis review of nearshore information to assist in the development of a monitoring and evaluation plan to track changes in nearshore conditions. Ultimately, the findings and recommendations of this project are expected to support several agency statutory and programmatic needs by: 1) providing baseline information to support assessment of relevant state and TRPA standards; 2) supporting the development of products for the Tahoe Monitoring and Evaluation Program; 3) tracking the effectiveness of the Tahoe TMDL Program and other EIP efforts related to nearshore condition; and 4) contributing to detection and management of aquatic invasive species in the nearshore.
