Freshwater mussels in Washington, D.C.

Hatchery-raised alewife floaters, a species of freshwater mussel, are raised in a floating basket in the Anacostia River on Kingman Island in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 15, 2019. The mussels were part of a restoration project by Anacostia Watershed Society, to boost populations of the invertebrates that help filter water. Volunteers temporarily pulled the mussels to measure their growth and survival. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
