Changes in nearshore conditions at Lake Tahoe have become evident to both visitors and residents of the Tahoe Basin, with increasing stakeholder interest in managing the factors that have contributed to apparent deterioration of the nearshore environment. This has lead to joint implementation of a Nearshore Science Team and the Nearshore Agency Working Group, which together have contributed to a synthesis review of nearshore information and the development of a monitoring and evaluation plan that will track changes in nearshore conditions. A conceptual model is presented that conveys a contemporary understanding of the factors and activities that affect desired nearshore qualities.
