Monitoring MacDill's wetlands and wildlife
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sinead Borchert, Air Force Partnership Program Liaison biologist, surveys wetlands and wildlife with a Skydio X2D Drone at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 8, 2025. Wetlands at MacDill AFB provide a critical habitat for diverse wildlife, including birds, fish and other species, while also filtering water, preventing flooding and reducing erosion to protect the base’s infrastructure. These ecosystems support compliance with environmental laws and highlight the base’s commitment to sustainability and strong community relationships. Monitoring the wetlands ensures they remain healthy and effective, preserving their role in supporting wildlife and maintaining operational resilience. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
