Lake Tahoe Science to Action Plan

In 2019 the Council completed an “Aquatic” Science to Action (S2A) plan describing recommended research and monitoring activities to better understand Lake Tahoe’s clarity condition and associated drivers. Acknowledging the need for prioritizing watershed science needs, the Council initiated an “Upland Ecosystem” S2A planning effort in 2020. The Council and its management partners will develop a wholistic, basin wide S2A plan that updates aquatic priorities and links watershed research and monitoring work to the lake. An “Integrated” S2A plan will provide the framework for linking resource management and science community priorities.
