Why #eDNA is such a powerful tool for marine biodiversity observation? Because it uses tiny traces of genetic material left by species in water. No capture. No disturbance. eDNA is fast, non-invasive & suited for remote/hard-to-access areas. Read more obis.org/2025/06/12/edn…

What happens after looking for eDNA? Samples are sent to a lab, sequenced & matched to species. Data is then integrated into OBIS, ready to be put to action! How much can you get from sampling at just a few locations? Check the Minderoo Foundation video below and obis.org/2025/06/12/edn…
