A cost-effective way to monitor marine biodiversity

Funding: $120,365

Enabling passive eDNA sampling from opportunistic vessels

Research cruises at sea can be very expensive, but research and sampling can be done opportunistically, using vessels already at sea. We are developing a cost-effective method for monitoring marine biodiversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis collected by fishing boats, coast guard ships and other vessels already at sea.

This project is finding a cheaper way to track marine biodiversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) collected by fishing boats, coast guard ships, and other vessels already out at sea. With new global rules requiring companies to report their impact on biodiversity, this approach makes it easier and more affordable to monitor marine life all year round. It helps industries meet international standards while supporting ocean conservation.
