FWS HQ Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding for Lake Tahoe Basin Projects FY22 - Lake Tahoe Marina Redesign [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was signed in November 2021 and made a historic $17 million investment in the Lake Tahoe Basin. A total of $3.4 million in year-one funds will support proven projects and expand collaborative efforts in Lake Tahoe. In the center of Washoe ancestral lands, Lake Tahoe holds significant cultural importance for the Washoe Tribe and is part of the historic range of Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, an important food source to the Tribe To participate in restoration efforts in the Lake Tahoe watershed, the Washoe Environmental Protection Department was established in 1998 and has been a key partner in ongoing restoration work. Another key partner is the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, who play a lead role in aquatic invasive species (AIS) management through innovative removal methods, community engagement, and new AIS prevention. The Lake Tahoe Basin faces ongoing threats from the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species. Common invasive weeds, like the Eurasian watermilfoil, can significantly disrupt aquatic ecosystems and crowd out native species. Aquatic invasive species management is a top priority of the Lake Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program, one of the most comprehensive restoration programs in the nation.
