Today, many of the 63 tributaries flowing into Lake Tahoe are not being monitored for basic water quality and habitat parameters. CalTrout established the Streamkeeper Stewardship Program to help get local participation through the collection of this missing data. Our objective is to grow this program, and thus, expand our monitoring parameters.
To realize this, we will:
- Continue to monitor water quality and habitat parameters of Lake Tahoe
- Engage with a more diverse group of partners to assess how our group can expand our data collection in a meaningful way
- Continue to conduct outreach events to double our volunteer base
Key Partners: Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Lahontan Water Quality Control Board, League to Save Lake Tahoe, Tahoe Resource Conservation District
Other Partners: Lake Tahoe Community College, Sierra Nevada Alliance, Sierra Steams Institute, Tahoe Environmental Research Center, local fly clubs
