Data Collection and Litter Analysis

Starting in May 2021 Clean Up the Lake will be embarking on a 72 mile scuba clean up of Lake Tahoe, presented by Tahoe Blue Vodka. To increase the impact of litter removal we will be categorizing and collecting data on every single piece of litter that we remove from the lake. This internship program will focus on assisting us with categorizing and collecting this litter data. The collection of this data will provide valuable information to the Tahoe Basin community, including local and state government, and private/ nonprofit organizations to improve the understanding of the litter present in the lake environment.

Applications will be accepted March 16th-March 31st.
Session 1 will be a 10 week session that begins the week of April 29th- July 1st the sorting location will be in South Lake Tahoe.
