Eyes on the Lake is a citizen science program to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species in Tahoe’s waters. League staff train community members how to identify and report on aquatic plants found while out enjoying the Lake. This information is used for early detection of new infestations followed by a rapid response to get treatment on the ground and stop these invaders in their tracks. Eyes on the Lake volunteers literally protect while they play at Lake Tahoe.
