SUMMARY:Molt Search Public On-beach Practice
DESCRIPTION:\nPast Molt Search training in action (credit: Jess Newley) \nAre you a beachwalker? A shell collector? Keep an eye out for invasive green crabs while you do by participating in “Molt Search“\, a new early detection community science program by Washington Sea Grant & WSU Extension designed to help managers direct resources to undersearched or green crab detected beaches. It’s a systematic beach walk\, where you spend 20 person-minutes collecting and identifying all crab molts you find and submit that information via the MyCoast app. \n\nLearn more about the program at wsg.washington.edu/moltsearch.\nJoin us on the beach Thurs. 8/28 for hands-on practice at three locations across Puget Sound. This is a follow-up event to the online training offered via Zoom on 8/27 6:30-8pm\, where you’ll learn about European green crab in the region\, crab ID\, and Molt Search protocols. \nWhere: Three locations concurrently (2:30-4pm) \n\nEdmonds Olympic Beach with WSU Extension staff\nSeattle Golden Gardens wetlands with WSG Crab Team staff\nBellingham Marine Park with WSU Extension staff\n\nSign me up! Register here for the Zoom link to the associated virtual training 8/27\nCan’t make it to this virtual training first? Walk-ups are welcome at Thursday’s on-beach practice! \nWhat to bring: Clothes and footwear appropriate for walking a sandy\, pebbled (dry) shoreline. A container for gathering crab shells (“molts”) into. A smartphone\, ideally with the MyCoast app already downloaded. \nSend any questions to: crabteam@uw.edu \nKeep in touch: To keep up-to-date on future Molt Search volunteer opportunities and program updates\, sign up for the “Molt-o-Meter” newsletter. \n
