Kingman and Heritage Islands in Washington, D.C.
Ariel Trahan, second from left, District Department of Energy & Environment environmental protection specialist, leads a tour of Kingman Island and Heritage Island for the Chesapeake Bay Program Habitat Goal Implementation Team in Washington, D.C., on May 1, 2024. Kingman and Heritage islands were created in 1903 using dredge spoils from the Anacostia River, which had filled in with eroded sediment from centuries of development beginning in the 1700s. After a seawall was constructed on both sides of the Anacostia in the early 1900s, the river had lost about 90% of its wetlands. But efforts in recent years have brought some wetlands back to the river, including at Kingman Lake. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
