Assessing DNA-Based Biomonitoring Applications in the Golden Horn (Istanbul, the Marmara Sea)
The prior RSG utilized sustainable DNA based methods to assess biodiversity in the Golden Horn, reducing environmental consequences while discovering numerous species. In addition to developing multilingual educational resources, the project promoted community involvement and a sense of environmental responsibility.
The current endeavour expands upon these successes by broadening environmental DNA plankton monitoring to the Marmara Sea and more thoroughly incorporating local rowing clubs, as well as organizing inclusive, multilingual workshops. The aim is to strengthen scientific collaborations and contribute to global biodiversity databases, ultimately enhancing comprehension of regional biodiversity and fostering a more environmentally conscious community.
