Invasive European green crab 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 event includes a 2-hour workshop which 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 collect additional data on Dungeness crab molts if you wish.
