BREMERTON, Wash. (April 25, 2017) Airman Zachary Griffis and Engineman 2nd Class Chase Moreland, 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.
