International Collaboration Advances Coastal Biodiversity Monitoring at SUMAE

18.05.2025 / View : 135 / Archive

Biodiversa+ Workshop on Non-indigenous Fish Monitoring in Transitional Coastal Ecosystems

On 15–16 May 2025, the Central Fisheries Research Institute (SUMAE) proudly hosted the FishInDNA Workshop in collaboration with Biodiversa+, welcoming experts from Germany, Poland, ​Denmark, Georgia, Greece, Sweden, and Türkiye, representing nine international institutions.

The two-day workshop focused on monitoring non-indigenous fish species (NIS) in transitional coastal ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on integrating genetic techniques such as environmental DNA (eDNA) into biodiversity assessment frameworks.

Key Themes and Presentations:

Participants engaged in presentations and discussions covering a wide range of topics:

  • Introduction to the FishInDNA pilot proposal

  • Design and implementation of genetic monitoring programmes for coastal NIS

  • Comparative evaluation of eDNA-based and traditional sampling methods

  • Applications of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and the European Alien Species Information Network (EASIN)

  • eDNA monitoring in extreme environments and post-disturbance conditions

  • Integration of DNA-based biodiversity data into GBIF

  • The role of eDNA as a window into invisible and hard-to-monitor ecosystems

Interactive Group Work:

Breakout sessions offered opportunities for experts to exchange views on:

  • Target habitats and priority introduction sites for NIS monitoring

  • Species selection and sampling protocols

  • Combined use of traditional and novel (eDNA) methods

  • Measurement of physical parameters during eDNA sampling

  • Anticipated challenges and risks for pilot execution

  • Enhancing policy impact across national and European levels

  • Building synergies with Biodiversa+ and related initiatives

This collaborative workshop fostered cross-border dialogue and innovation in the field of aquatic biodiversity monitoring. By strengthening international ties and advancing the application of molecular tools, the FishInDNA initiative contributes to more effective, science-based conservation strategies in coastal and marine ecosystems.

We extend our gratitude to all participants for their valuable input and commitment to environmental stewardship.
