About

At Clean Up the Lake (CUTL) our mission is to activate local communities to join us in taking action to protect the environment, both above and below the surface. Our efforts include working with engaged community volunteers to remove submerged litter from natural waterways to improve water quality and ecosystem health while also educating the public on how litter accumulates in the environment in unforeseen ways.
Through data collection, collaborating with environmental scientists, extensive research dives and outreach in the community we have discovered pollution issues within the community and under the surface of numerous lakes in the Tahoe Basin including Lake Tahoe. To tackle these issues we perform scuba clean ups and implement litter mitigation strategies in areas of need.
Our NPO’s flagship project was the first ever human powered circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe using SCUBA, and it was the largest trash-clean up in Lake Tahoe’s history, where we removed over 25,000 pounds of trash. We are now monitoring litter hot-spots in Lake Tahoe. To-date, we have removed a total of over 33,000 pounds of trash from Lake Tahoe. Your support will help us continue our work to Clean Up The Lake.
