170425-N-SH284-074 BREMERTON, Wash. (April 25, 2017) Aviation Electronics Technician 3rd Class Madeline Schlueter (left) and Machinist's Mate (Nuclear) 2nd Class Jonathan Rex Bartuzuk, 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)
