Emma Schuldt, left, a volunteer, and Jennifer McDonnell, right, installation management flight chief with the 11th Civil Engineer Squadron, place sand in the bottom of a bucket during a mussel release event at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, D.C., Aug. 22, 2025. The sand stabilized the mussel buckets and provided a similar environment to the mussels’ natural state. 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.
