Science to Action

The Tahoe Science Advisory Council (Council) has developed Science to Action Plans that guide research and monitoring needs to promote the resilience of Tahoe ecosystems, focusing on the threat of climate change and the persistence of valued benefits and services. While the plans are currently separated as aquatic and upland ecosystems, the Council seeks to unite these plans in a cohesive, basin-wide plan. The objective is to provide decision-relevant science that informs policy and that will anticipate critical or emerging issues relevant to lake water quality and ecosystem health.
