    Hi Susan, Thanks for another great submission (and pleasingly organized photo)! Perfect! It looks like the app didn’t retain your original search location when submitting and has the pin far inland. To protect your privacy before we make it public, I’d like to relocate it back to the shoreline of your search. You can either make that edit yourself by logging in to MyCoast on a computer (edit access isn’t currently available via the app), or I’m happy to do that on our end if you want to describe to me about where you started. Sorry for this one last step!
