eDNA Sampling in Alaska and Arctic Marine Ecosystems

Since 2020, the Ocean Molecular Ecology group has worked with EcoFOCI to maintain seawater environmental DNA (eDNA) time series in the U.S. Alaska and Arctic region. Scientists from our group have participated in several recent sampling trips in the Bering Sea onboard the NOAA Oscar Dyson.
