    Hi Kathryn, For this one, it looks like MyCoast may have lost your photo–it says “no molts found” and doesn’t have an attached photo, but given the Dungeness measurements you’ve shared and your comment, I’m guessing it may have gotten dropped during MyCoast’s “draft saving” step. If its handy, feel free to attach in an email response and I’ll get it added here. Thanks for your efforts and patience on this!
