A few months ago I sought information on marine mammal research activities involving eDNA. Quite a few people from around the world responded and I found a few others from the literature and on the web. As part of efforts to bring MM eDNA researchers together, I worked with a couple of the respondents to prepare and submit a proposal for an eDNA workshop at the upcoming MMS Biennial Conference in Halifax. Unfortunately, the proposal was not accepted, so we will have to look for another opportunity to bring everyone together. You will hear from me again regarding other efforts to foster communication among eDNA researchers. Thanks again for everyone’s interest.
