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. These molts can serve as an early indicator of the presence of European green crab in an area.
Attend either of these two events to find out how you can become involved. Contact Betsy Carlson for more information. Participation is limited to 30 people per training.
