Suffocating Invasive Species with Pond Liners

In Lake Tahoe, 45-mil pond liners are being tested for their effectiveness in suffocating invasive Asian clams. A half-acre portion of the lake bed was covered with the rubber-synthetic barrier. Total eradication is not thought possible through this or any means; but effective control is the goal. Geomembrane panels, smartly deployed in various locations, could deter rapid expansion of clam population.
