Exploring application of eDNA metabarcoding for marine biodiversity monitoring in Gwaii Haanas

EF 2021-22 · 2021-12-13

Résumé
This contribution supports exploration of environmental DNA (eDNA) as a tool in marine biodiversity monitoring, to address a priority science gap for evidence-based conservation decision-making in Parks Canada’s ecosystems. Novel technologies and methods such as eDNA metabarcoding have potential to augment observational surveys by facilitating broader spatial and temporal sampling that can add to our understanding of ecosystems. This project will pilot cutting-edge eDNA analysis methods that will generate new information to support conservation of biodiversity and restoration of marine ecosystems.

Description (French)
Cette contribution soutient l'exploration de l'ADN environnemental (eADN) comme outil de surveillance de la biodiversité marine, afin de combler une lacune scientifique prioritaire pour la prise de décisions fondées sur des preuves en matière de conservation dans les écosystèmes de Parcs Canada. De nouvelles technologies et méthodes telles que le méta-codage à barres eADN ont le potentiel d'augmenter les enquêtes d'observation en facilitant un échantillonnage spatial et temporel plus large qui peut contribuer à notre compréhension des écosystèmes. Ce projet pilotera des méthodes d'analyse eADN de pointe qui généreront de nouvelles informations pour soutenir la conservation de la biodiversité et la restauration des écosystèmes marins.
