Contribution of marine (e)DNA (meta)barcoding to the goals of the UN Ocean Decade

My Session Status

What:
Session
When:
11:00 AM, Tuesday 3 Sep 2024 (2 hours)
Where:
(e)DNA (meta)barcoding approaches are particularly valuable to improve discovery and understanding of marine biodiversity, and monitor comprehensively vast areas of the ocean, including poorly known and operationally challenging communities, thereby providing rich scientific data to support oceans biodiversity conservation, management and sustainability. This session will serve primarily as a show case of the diversity of current and potential contributions of (e)DNA (meta)barcoding to the targets of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). Talks will include large-scale eDNA-based monitoring projects, detection of non-indigenous species (NIS), monitoring of endangered organisms such as cetaceans and sharks, applications to fisheries monitoring. Additionally, technical aspects of the (e)DNA (meta)barcoding approaches will be addressed, such as residence times of oceans’ eDNA or strategies for high-throughput sequencing of fish mitogenomes.

This session is endorsed by the UN Ocean Decade program “Ocean Biomolecular Observing Network (OBON; https://obon-ocean.org).
