UC Davis Scientists Assemble 5 Acres of Mats for Tahoe Asian Clam Project (Oct 16, 2012)
University of California at Davis.
Rubber barriers bound for the lakebed of Lake Tahoe's Emerald Bay are being assembled at the University of California, Davis, as part of the biggest Asian clam control project in the lake's history. The Asian clam control project is scheduled to begin on October 15 (weather permitting) and deployment of the bottom barriers will take from four to six weeks to complete. The barriers will be left in place for approximately one year in order to achieve clam mortality. Crews will return for three weeks in September-October of 2013 (after Labor Day) to remove the barriers. Work will primarily occur in early mornings to minimize interference with recreational boating; however, boaters entering Emerald Bay may be asked by on-site coordinators to delay their entrance into the bay for a short while to ensure diver safety. Work will only occur during the week, with no work occurring on the weekends or holidays, and has been scheduled not to interfere with the summer boating season. Boaters planning to visit Emerald Bay during these periods are asked to take extra precautions to avoid disrupting the control project or endangering the divers.

NV Dept. of Agriculture Needs Public Help in Finding Moth Responsible for Tree Destruction (Sep 26, 2012)
KRNV News 4.
The Satin Moth (Leucoma salicis) is an introduced exotic defoliator originally found in Europe and Asia. It was first detected in Massachusetts and British Columbia in the 1920's. A small population of Satin Moths was reported in the Lake Tahoe Basin in the 1990's but never developed into much of a population. Recently, NDA and NDF staff found around 7 acres of poplars and willows defoliated in the Tahoe Basin. Also present were thousands moths emerging and laying eggs. If this insect or evidence of it are found, please contact Jeff Knight at 775-353-3767 or jknight@agri.nv.gov or Gail Durham 775-684-2513 or gdurham@forestry.nv.gov.

Watercraft Decal Program to Fund Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention (Aug 1, 2012)
Nevada Department of Wildlife.
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) announced the details of the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) watercraft sticker program which will help fund efforts to prevent the spread of such invasive species as quagga mussels and milfoil. Specifically, users of any watercraft that can be removed from a body of water and still hold water will be required to purchase and affix an AIS decal to the watercraft before launching on any Nevada waterway. The requirement becomes effective January 1, 2013.
