Supporting SDG 14

Marine pollution, invasive species, climate change and other human activities threaten biodiversity and life below water (SDG 14). Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is a simple, cost-effective and non-destructive method to measure biodiversity loss. 

With eDNA surface sampling technology, researchers and community scientists alike can contribute the data needed to inform and monitor solutions.
