Using eDNA to monitor marine biodiversity

"Over the past decade biodiversity researchers have increasingly used DNA sequences extracted from environmental samples such as soil, marine and fresh water, and even air – termed environmental DNA (eDNA) – to identify the organisms present in a huge range of habitats... [Researchers] have developed an innovative new approach for collecting marine eDNA samples which promises to open up biodiversity monitoring of remote offshore ocean locations." - Excerpt from University of Leeds
