From left, Michael Hooks, an environmental engineer with the U.S. Air Force’s 11th Civil Engineer Squadron, Emma Schuldt, a volunteer, and Jennifer McDonnell, installation management flight chief with the 11th CES, attach a protective cover to buckets of young mussels to release into the Potomac River at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, D.C., Aug. 22, 2025. The covers protect the young mussels from predators while the mussels reach maturity. The 11th CES partnered with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the Anacostia Watershed Society to release the mussels, which help clean the water by filtering excess nutrient pollutants. Located at the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, which empty into the Chesapeake Bay watershed, JBAB provides an ideal location for the release initiative.
