Project Baseline Lake Tahoe

Fish Kills, Algae Blooms, & Dead Zones

Project Name

Project Baseline Lake Tahoe

Project Description

Lake Tahoe is designated as an Outstanding National Resource Water, which is a special designation under the Clean Water Act, because of its historic clarity and water quality. In 2010, the New Millennium Dive Expeditions (NMDE) team under the guidance of Project Baseline began a focused effort to document the true condition of the lake by reporting underwater conditions personally observed at specific locations while submerged from the nearshore down to 450 feet. The team's reputation as a competent, well organized, and safe group of divers grew over the years and prompted the team to engage in a sorely needed citizen scientist underwater documentation initiative by establishing a formal collaboration with Project Baseline.
