    Hi Cynthia! I see your report from the 15th has “no molts found” selected but you included information on a few Dungeness crabs. Do you have a photo that goes with this Molt Search report? You can reply to this email with the photo or go to the MyCoast app and upload the photo. Thanks so much! –Elyse (WSG Crab Team)

    Elyse, I was doing this for the first time in a group and I think you saw that our photo came in second, after the molt information was given. Thanks for your patience! One question, I entered size and sex info but I don’t see that here, just part of it.

    Hi Cyn, I think I got it sorted by combining the photo from the report you added on the 17th with the Dungeness crab abdomen information included in this report. I am not sure what happened to the carapace measurements though… maybe they got lost in cyberspace! Happy Molt Searching, Elyse (WSG Crab Team)
