Some boat ramps and docks are hundreds of feet from the water line, and clumps of stringy algae have been washing up on beaches, said Geoffrey Schladow, director of the University of California, Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center. “It’s putting us on warning that things could get a lot worse,” he said.
