Since 2008, the Tahoe Resource Conservation District and the TRPA have run the Lake Tahoe Watercraft Inspection Program. This is no small feat, having inspected over 90,000 boats so far. Because of their hard work, no new aquatic invasive species have entered Lake Tahoe in this 12 year span. By mid-July of this boating season, they intercepted more mussel boats than they did in the entire season last year. Check out the watercraft inspection web page for more information and remember to always arrive clean, drained, and dry!
