Clean Up the Lake has covered more than 43.5 miles of shoreline since the clean-up effort began to remove garbage from Lake Tahoe on May 14 removing 18,215 pounds of trash, according to a press release from the nonprofit.
Clean Up the Lake will collaborate with scientific institutions and environmental consultants to study the submerged litter to develop a better understanding of its impact on Lake Tahoe. Divers will continue the clean-up throughout the winter as conditions allow, and expect to complete the effort in early 2022, weather permitting. | tahoefund.org, cleanupthelake.org
