    Thanks for taking the time to do a Molt Search and including such wonderful Dungeness measurement data! During the data check we do for each report, I noticed that “Molt/crabs Found” was marked “No”, which means the app didn’t prompt you for a photo. I’ve gone ahead and corrected that field to “Yes” since you found three Dungeness crab. Do you have a photo from this survey on 2/19/26? Send me an email back with the photo if you have it and I can edit your report, or log-in (via computer) if you’d prefer to do so yourself!
