Fishing For Eels Without Nets Or Rods (Environmental DNA Sampling)

Participants will gain insights around eDNA and how we sample water, air and collect flies to monitor biodiversity, detect species presence, and track ecological changes. The workshop will include hands on opportunities to try out our citizen science monitoring kits and how to plan an eDNA survey. Alongside a presentation of how we use these techniques in conservation research to study the freshwater fish the European eel.
