The team of between five and 10 divers plans to look for trash along the entire 72 miles of shoreline and dig it out in an endeavor that could be the largest trash cleanup in Lake Tahoe's history, said Colin West, a diver and filmmaker who founded Clean Up the Lake, the nonprofit spearheading the project.
The team collected about 200 pounds of garbage during their one-tank session and found 20 large or heavy items, including buckets filled with cement and car bumpers, that will have to be retrieved later by a boat with a crane, he said. West started doing beach cleanups along the lake after visiting Belize and seeing beaches there littered with trash. But in 2018, after a diver friend told him he and others had collected 600 pounds of garbage from the waters on Tahoe's eastern shore, he decided to focus on the trash in the water.
Way to go. Innovative attraction to seeking demands. Scuba drivers were never a thought in my mind to carry out such a task. They are more seen as entertainers to an audience.
It will never be clean. Simply because the idiots that made it the way it is, won't ever stop.
6 months and divers will rid all the trash? Try six decades!
