The DNA They Leave Behind
Marine eDNA’s rapid progress and future potential highlighted by science writer Cheryl Lyn Dybas in September 2019 Oceanography, including commentary from Jesse Ausubel and Mark Stoeckle, and drawing on last November’s Rockefeller-Monmouth-sponsored National Conference on Marine eDNA.
CSM article on eDNA
The Christian Science Monitor posted an article Message in a bottle: Forensics meets marine science with eDNA that features the work of PHE researcher Dr. Mark Stoeckle and highlights PHE’s ongoing collaboration with the New Jersey Bureau of Marine Fisheries and researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).
Gowanus eDNA
Our Gowanus eDNA Project, carried out with RockEDU SSRP high school student Alla Zeidyyeh, found surprisingly diverse DNA evidence–19 fish species–in the Canal, including the endangered shortnose sturgeon. The project is featured on Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club Instagram page
