First test of the eDNA marine water sampling device

In June, we've tested the first prototype of our eDNA marine water sampling device in Piran with our project partners Morigenos, DBC and Shoreline.

This device is a key component of SeaInsights, which aims to improve conservation and management of the Northern Adriatic through eDNA-based biodiversity monitoring and public participation. The device pumps seawater through filters as the boat sails along a designated route, streamlining eDNA collection.

This test brings us closer to comprehensively assessing marine biodiversity in the Northern Adriatic, including the early detection of invasive species.
