    Hi Shirley, Thanks so much for taking the time to measure those Dungeness molts! That’s a really helpful contribution to the side of the dataset that we’ll be taking some time this winter to dive into further. Looks like you found a nice selection of species with that red rock crab, purple shore crab, and sneaky graceful crab joining your collection of Dungeness. Always a treat to see diversity like that! I hope it was a lovely time along that beautiful shore!
