STATELINE, NEVADA (AP) Researchers at Lake Tahoe are using tiny bubbles to combat the spread of invasive weeds that rob the alpine lake of its clarity.
Conservationists are partnering with local property owners to expand the use of the so-called “bubble curtains” to halt the spread of non-native plants in the waters straddling the California-Nevada line, the Tahoe Daily Tribune reported last week.
The technology has been used in conjunction with hydropower operations and to protect aquaculture operations and remove floating debris in places such as Florida, Northern California, the northeastern United States (US) and Canada. It’s proven effective since it was implemented in a channel at the Tahoe Keys on the lake’s south shore in 2018.
