Salish Sea-wide Molt Blitz!
June 20
Molt Search is a program by Washington Sea Grant, with partnership from Washington State University Extension and many local partner organizations. By participating you can help monitor shorelines across Washington for invasive European green crabs and native Dungeness crabs by following a simple protocol: a timed collection of all molts on the shore, submitted via MyCoast. Find out more at wsg.washington.edu/moltsearch
Already trained? Stop by any local shoreline on June 20th to complete a Molt Search independently, contributing to Washington’s largest single-day dataset on molt distribution across the Salish Sea.
Need to get trained or want to participate with others? Shorelines across the region will be activated by local partners on June 20th. Stop by one near you to get trained or mingle with other Molt Searchers. Bring a friend!

Crab Team staff will be on-site 6/20 at several locations to answer all your green crab questions & walk you through Molt Search protocols. Locations will be updated here in advance of the event!
