How can we develop and exploit new methodologies to ensure cost-effective monitoring (for example remote sensing and environmental DNA)?

Background

Measuring change enables us better target action to secure a healthy environment and support our rural communities and economies. It also helps us to evaluate the effectiveness of those actions. As well as meeting legislative and policy commitments to report on the state of our environment, both domestically and internationally.
