INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Clean Up The Lake, a 501(c)3 environmental nonprofit, completed their first SCUBA enabled pilot research project in Echo Lakes, California to evaluate litter accumulations and survey for aquatic invasive species (AIS).
In a positive turn of events, results from this work show that Echo Lakes, which are located just south of Lake Tahoe near the community of Meyers, show no signs of the extensive litter problems that exist in neighboring lakes. While litter was found during the project, Lower Echo Lake was significantly less littered than other lakes in the region like Lake Tahoe, Fallen Leaf and Donner Lake.
