The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a $4,994,024.20 Cooperative Agreement to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species (CFDA 15.608) federal grant program. The funds will be used by TRPA and its partners to prevent new introductions of aquatic invasive species and control or extirpate existing invasive species in the Lake Tahoe region. Key activities include operating a mandatory watercraft inspection and decontamination program, planning and conducting invasive aquatic plant and fish removal projects, and implementing lake-wide monitoring and early detection efforts. This funding will complement other sources and helps TRPA fulfill the requirements of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act to achieve a 90% reduction in invasive aquatic plants over a 10-year period starting in 2021. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
