Briefing: Harnessing eDNA to Help Conserve Australia's Oceans

Environmental DNA (eDNA) can be extracted from water samples to identify marine species, facilitating more efficient biodiversity assessments.

This method reduces the need for direct wildlife interaction, minimizing ecological disturbance during monitoring processes.

The implementation of eDNA technology may enhance the capacity to track changes in marine biodiversity over time, providing critical data for conservation strategies.
