170425-N-SH284-018 BREMERTON, Wash. (April 25, 2017) Electronics Technician (Nuclear) 3rd Class Matthew Perez (left) and Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Equipment) Airman Lillian Ndegwa, both assigned to USS Nimitz (CVN 68) beach detachment, remove invasive vegetation along the Sinclair Inlet shoreline, just south of the Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton Pass and ID office. Invasive vegetation overtakes native plants, which provide a habitat for local fish and birds, and prevents native vegetation from growing. Volunteers spent the day removing the vegetation to improve growth and restore the natural habitat. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Vaughan Dill/Released)
