2024 Lights of Havasu List 
An important component to the health of Lake Havasu happened this past weekend when the Lake Havasu Divers Association along with the Bureau of Land Management hosted the second annual Steamboat Cove cleanup Sunday.
Thirty-five divers from the Mohave and San Bernardino county sheriff’s departments, the Lake Havasu City Police Department, BLM, Sea Scouts and LHDA members participated in the cleanup.

According to Kathy Weydig of LHDA, divers spend the equivalent of 31.5 dive hours underwater collecting trash from red Solo cups to beer cans to sunglasses to box anchors to cash and more. An old tire, an Apple watch, hats, fishing poles and a propeller were among some of the items brought up for the lake bottom.
Land support included Sea Scout canoes, three Sea Scout snorkelers and a BLM kayak. Weydig said one of the group’s favorite divers, Lynn Bouhafna of the Donut Post, brought coffee and donuts for all.
The association has scheduled an underwater cleanup of Bridgewater Channel Oct. 24.

Thank you Mojave County sheriffs department BSO Ed ConnieThank you San Bernardino county BLM and all participated in that clean up it’s very very sad there’s that much trash down there thank you each and everyone of you
If only there were a way to identify who dropped the trash and mail it to them as another nation is doing. Or perhaps get pictures of the thrashers in the act and post the pictures on Social Media. I guess I am just dreaming that when we talk about being better to one another our environment be included in the conversation. I’m just sayin’.
Thank you for doing such an informative article -we always need to know what’s going on with the garbage … Dirty subject but somebody has to talk about it
Excellent this is done on an annual basis✅

I’m thinking you need and other lakes hire people to watch. then fine them with hefty fines. a few time of that it a lot of it would stop.
