About This Project
University of California, Santa Cruz
A new molecular tool that identifies marine species from genetic material in water—“environmental DNA”, or eDNA—could revolutionize ocean monitoring and transform our ability to manage marine ecosystems sustainably. We want to test this tool in Northern California’s oceans. The results will reveal how geographical distributions of California marine species shift during the year and in response to the environment, and will help us forecast the effects of future changes.
