Meeks Bay Restoration Project Survey

The Meeks Creek watershed, located on Lake Tahoe’s west shore, includes approximately 68 acres of severely impacted habitat. The Meeks Creek and Meeks Lagoon system once provided important habitat for native fish as well as ecosystem functions that kept fine sediment pollution out of Lake Tahoe. In 2016, the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, US Forest Service - Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and the Washoe Tribe partnered to begin work on a full restoration of the Meeks Creek watershed. More project information is available at meeksbayproject.org.
