🌍 For #eDNA to support environmental policy and management, trust is key.
That trust is built through transparent methods, shared standards, and quality frameworks adopted by the community.

My first post on BlueSky
@sednasociety.bsky.social here is my #eDNAFocus photo competition entry.
I had always wanted to share this photo from my field sampling days.
For me, #eDNA has opened a new window into understanding our waters and biodiversity they hold.

📊 To make eDNA-based monitoring trusted and policy-relevant, we need inclusive, internationally agreed method standards and quality frameworks.
That’s where eDNAqua-Plan comes in.

🧬eDNA is an interesting tool for biodiversity monitoring.
But for it to be fully exploitable, shared standards and interoperable data systems are needed.

📢 @bmd-project.eu is hosting a three-day workshop for #Natura2000 site managers and EU conservation practitioners
🌱 It will provide practical experience with tools for detection of species, such as camera traps, environmental #eDNA sampling and publishing #biodiversity #data to @gbif.org
Check out how our sister project @guardias.bsky.social is using #eDNA
Another day, another estuary. Sampling #eDNA to better understand biodiversity in Tilba Tilba Lake
An important aspect our work is communication with local stakeholders, such as the farmers around this estuary
Visits from cute echidnas is an added bonus

Another belated "new paper". We used passive #eDNA sampling to evaluate the risk of biofouling species being introduced to Macquarie Island (and other Antarctic / subantarctic locations) by ships.

While I was down South, this paper was published: MetaZooGene Intercalibration Experiment (MZG-ICE): Metabarcoding Marine Zooplankton Diversity of the Global Ocean. A nice collaboration via SCOR MetaZooGene Working Group - we evaluate #eDNA data comparability among labs. doi.org/10.1111/1755...

Update from the field. We achieved a major milestone yesterday by collecting #eDNA samples from Nadgee River
Sampling in Nadgee Nature Reserve is tricky: a 2 hour 4-wheel drive + 20 minute hike through the bush carrying a canoe just to get to the estuary!

🤝 A sustainable #eDNA ecosystem isn’t built by one project or one institution.
It grows through collaboration across researchers, infrastructures, and policymakers.
#Biodiversity #Community #OpenScience
🧬 #eDNA is becoming increasingly useful in #biodiversity research and #conservation. But what is eDNA, exactly? We speak with environmental scientist Dr Michelle Guzik from Adelaide University to learn more.
