Emma Schuldt, left, a volunteer, measures the weight of a young mussel while Amberleigh Ray, right, an environmental engineer with the U.S. Air Force’s 11th Civil Engineer Squadron, annotates the results at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, D.C., Aug. 22, 2025. The team measured the size and weight to determine the maturity of the mussels. 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. More than 1,000 young mussels were released during the project. (U.S. Air Force photo by Hayden Hallman)
