Tahoe Regional Planning Agency takes action to protect Lake Tahoe from golden musselsls

March 28, 2025

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) on March 26 updated its Lake Tahoe Watercraft Inspection Program to protect the lake from a new aquatic invasive species: golden mussels.

The program requires mandatory decontaminations for visiting motorized watercraft entering Lake Tahoe.

According to TRPA, “the main change for motorized boaters traveling from other areas will be a watercraft decontamination following the mandatory inspection. As always, boats that were launched last in Lake Tahoe and have a Tahoe security seal can launch again without reinspection.”
