Madison Cox, right, 11th Civil Engineer Squadron natural resources program manager, records mussel sizes while Michael Hooks, left, 11th CES tanks program manager and Amberleigh Ray, center, 11th CES recycling and solid waste program manager, measure the mussels during a mussel release event, April 3, 2023, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, JBAB, in partnership with Anacostia Watershed Society, deployed and began monitoring the young freshwater mussels in April 2022; this event signified the mussels’ “graduation” and send-off to their permanent homes in the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers off the JBAB shoreline. The mussels were deployed to clean the rivers adjoining JBAB; a single mussel can filter more than five gallons of water per day, removing harmful pollutants and debris while improving the health of the river.
