    What a flawless first report, Eir! Something in the photo for scale, everything laid out nicely for easy QA/QC, spot-on ID on those Dungeness crabs. Thanks so much for taking the time to do a search on the solstice and add some important coverage on Molt Blitz day there in Indianola! We’re so grateful to have your participation in this important monitoring work and hope you’ll continue along with us next time you’re walking the shore! –Lisa, Molt Search Lead
