  We’re always excited to see a “Zero Molts” report. Thanks for taking the time to do a timed search and submit this important “nothing” observation to the dataset! Zeros add important statistical strength and confidence to temporal, seasonal, and geographic trends in a way that “presence-only” reporting can’t. Never a bad time to have a look around! Glad to have you part of this important monitoring work over there, particularly when the extent of green crab’s presence in the San Juans is still uncertain (sharing our article on the False Bay detection for context if you haven’t already seen it: https://wsg.washington.edu/false-bay-sji-greencrab/) – Lisa, Molt Search Lead

  Thanks for this info! I wasn’t sure about reporting at the time, but now that I know this, I won’t be shy about it next time. I recently attended a molt search program on the island to learn about all this, so I’m very interested in getting more data to help your good work!
