Join Scott Fitzgerrell and UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center director Geoff Schladow as they kayak Lake Tahoe in support of the Citizen Science Tahoe project with day trips from Sept. 20 to 26. Using the app, they will collect valuable water quality, algal growth and microplastics data.
All participants are responsible for bringing their own watercraft, personal protective equipment (flotation device while on the water and a mask while on land), food, beverages, and planning their own transportation to/from the departure and arrival sites.
Download the Citizen Science Tahoe App at citizensciencetahoe.org to contribute data during the paddle. Visit TheTahoeWeekly.com for the itinerary. | Register hmsegale@ucdavis.edu, amyshyakova@ucdavis.edu
