How can we better integrate emerging technologies (eDNA, remote sensing, AI,
automation) with existing monitoring programmes to enhance environmental
monitoring effectiveness and efficiency?
Background
Effective management of Scotland's marine and freshwater environments requires robust,
timely, and accessible data and evidence. This research area focuses on developing and
implementing new approaches for monitoring, data collection, analysis, and curation and
sharing to support evidence-based decision-making and adaptive management.
