    Hi Laura, thanks for your report from Vashon Island on 5/16. I didn’t see a photo included in this report and I also see you marked “No” for if molts were found but had included some measurements and counts for Dungeness crabs. You can edit your report on MyCoast or respond to this comment/email with the information or report photo and I update the report on your behalf. Thanks! Elyse Kelsey (WSG Crab Team)
