FAIR data isn’t a buzzword—it’s a requirement.

Findable. Accessible. Interoperable. Reusable.
That’s how #eDNA data can truly support science, policy & conservation.

🔍#eDNAquaPlan mapped the digital gaps across the whole eDNA workflow:

⚠️ Generic DMP templates
⚠️ Complex ENA submissions
⚠️ Limited metagenomics support
⚠️ Interoperability issues
⚠️ Need for curated reference libraries

Accurate biodiversity insights depend on strong reference libraries.

Better databases = better identifications = better decisions

We’re working towards a roadmap for a more robust, FAIRer #eDNA data ecosystem.
