This situation offers us a chance to learn. After all, from crisis comes opportunity. Recently, we’ve fielded lots of questions about how restrictions on travel, work, hotels and vacation rentals have impacted the Lake. Specifically, will Tahoe’s clarity improve, like the water quality in the canals of Venice?
The answer is, we’ll have to wait and see. In these unique conditions, Lake Tahoe can serve as a living laboratory. The ski resorts are shut down, boat launches are closed, and people are being asked to postpone their trips to Tahoe. With this huge reduction in use, we will be watching the scientific data collected before, during and after the COVID-19 crisis to see how the Lake environment responds. There are sure to be lessons learned from this challenge, and we are on the job to keep you informed.
