European Green Crab Molt Search Training – Thurs, June 1st
The emerging invasion by European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) threatens marine resources in Washington. Early detection of small populations gives us the best chance to reduce the spread and impact of this globally damaging invasive species. Washington Sea Grant and Washington State University Extension have teamed up to launch a new volunteer-based early detection program to complement the existing WSG Crab Team trapping and monitoring network. Molt Search aims to support broader participation in early detection by teaching volunteers what to look for and how to report the presence of European green crab molts along inland shorelines, using the MyCoast app.
Contact Emilee Carpenter for more information. Registration link, More info link .
Time: 4-6 p.m. | Location: PTMSC Museum classroom, Bldg 502, Fort Worden SP
