Molt Search Volunteer Training (Kitsap County)

Washington Sea Grant and Washington State University Extension have teamed up to launch a new volunteer-based early detection program to complement the existing Crab Team monitoring network. This event includes a workshop where you will learn how to identify crab molts, where and how to conduct a 20-minute Molt Search survey, how report your findings using the MyCoast mobile app, and optionally how to collect additional data on Dungeness crab molts.

Event logistics: We will be starting the day at Seabeck Community Center and finishing up the day at GPC’s Misery Point Preserve. Misery Point Preserve is about a five-minute drive away and we will be carpooling from the community center. At Misery Point Preserve, we will be walking about ¼ mile up and down a hill and along a rocky shoreline.
