The League is proud to introduce the PixieDrone, a cousin of the BEBOT and the latest piece of innovative technology our team has introduced to Keep Tahoe Blue.

We teamed up with ECO-CLEAN Solutions and the Tahoe Keys Marina to bring this battery-powered, autonomous and programmable, motorized skimmer to Tahoe. The PixieDrone glides across the water’s surface, swallowing up floating trash and aquatic invasive weeds in its "mouth" – similar to how a manta ray catches its prey. By removing weed fragments, the PixieDrone prevents those ecosystem invaders from spreading across the Lake.

Later this summer, the PixieDrone will be joined by another robotic, weed-fighting friend. We can't wait to tell you about it.

The scene we saw at Zephyr Shoals on July 5 during our 10th annual "Keep Tahoe Red, White & Blue" Beach Cleanup was heartbreaking. To prevent misuse and abuse of the shoreline, the League is teaming up with the US Forest Service and other stakeholders to raise the bar for beach management across the Tahoe Basin. Together, we've made a multi-year commitment to create Tahoe Blue Beaches, a new management model that centers around stronger education, engineering and enforcement to safeguard our summer playgrounds.

Maybe you've seen this unique-looking trailer parked at one of your favorite Tahoe beaches this summer, perhaps with a line of paddlers waiting to use it.

If you're meeting it for the first time, allow us to introduce the CD3, a free to use, mobile, solar-powered cleaning station with onboard tools to stop the spread and introduction of aquatic invasive species. Use the machine on your kayak or paddleboard by following the simple steps to CD3 – “clean, drain, dry and dispose.”

This innovative, invasive species-fighting technology is being strategically moved between popular launch sites around the Basin. Find it and put it to good use. The Lake will thank you.

Beginning in 1969 when a handful of models walked down a plywood runway on Rubicon Beach, our Benefit Fashion Show has become a fundraising tradition in support of our lake-saving mission.

Fast forward 54 years, and this year’s event raised an amazing $1.2 million to Keep Tahoe Blue. Our team at the League is deeply appreciative for this outpouring of generosity. The funds raised will support the League’s full range of science-driven work, from advocating for litter prevention policies, to building Tahoe's resilience to climate change by restoring the ecosystem.

Thank you to all of our partners, sponsors, volunteers and generous donors.
