Learn how to Molt Search! @ Fairhaven library fireplace room

Invasive European green crabs are voracious eaters that threaten our shellfish beds, clamming beaches, and nearshore habitat for salmon. Join Washington State University Extension and University of Washington Sea Grant in this effort to monitor our beaches for signs of green crab presence by searching for their molts. This 1 ½ hour workshop will teach you how to identify the crab molts, where and how to conduct a 20-minute Molt Search survey, how report your findings using a mobile app, and how to collection additional (optional) data on Dungeness crab molts.
