Develop Nearshore Indicators and Standards Plus Monitoring Plan

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.
