    What a wonderful and thorough report, Shirley! Great to have you part of the community of eyes on the beach doing these Molt Searches! Your report adds valuable information on Dungeness sizing and the absence of green crab molts on that shoreline for the day. A reminder for next time that adding something for scale in your photo can help the data go even further. Hope you had a nice time out there! Thanks so much for contributing your time to these monitoring efforts!
