Solar-powered boat cleaning stations launched to protect Lake Tahoe
Original: New solar-powered cleaning stations aim to protect Lake Tahoe from invasive species
New solar-powered watercraft cleaning stations are being introduced at Lake Tahoe to help stop the spread of aquatic invasive species. Boats are a major pathway for invasive mussels and weeds, so the stations allow boaters to clean, drain and dry their vessels before launching. Local officials hope the self-service stations will boost inspection compliance and protect the lake's famously clear waters.
Why now: Concerns over invasive species threatening Lake Tahoe's ecosystem are driving interest in the new cleaning infrastructure.
