°µTVā Bodega Marine Laboratory is looking for alumni, and the Tahoe Environmental Research Center has put out a call for photographs or films that show the lakeās shoreline with or without algae before the 1990s.
The invitation-only reunion is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 17. People with a lab connection can leave their contact information on the , so that the lab can respond with reunion details.
ā¢ Tahoe Environmental Research Center ā Itās hoping to quantify anecdotal data that suggests there used to be extremely low attached algae (periphyton) levels on Lake Tahoeās shoreline. āThere were also likely more rooted plants, such as tulles and lilies,ā a TERC news release states. āTo better understand what the biology was like around the lake in the past, it would be extremely valuable to see photos and films of the shoreline and piers accompanied by personal accounts of what was remembered.ā Submissions will be considered for the centerās Historical Shoreline Algae Study.
Present-day images also are welcome, via TERCās free Citizen Science Tahoe app (available at ).
