Large number of infected boats stopped
In May, Lake Tahoe watercraft inspectors have identified numerous boats carrying harmful aquatic invasive species and added them to the list of boats that had to be decontaminated before launching, according to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the Tahoe Resource Conservation District, which manage the inspection program. As of press time, 14 of the more than 1,000 boats inspected were found to have aquatic invasive species in, on or attached to the boat, boat trailer, dock lines or on-board recreational equipment, according to a press release.
