Join CIMAS and AOML scientists as they embark on a field mission to collect environmental DNA at restored and unrestored Mission: Iconic Reefs Sites. By collecting water samples, these researchers are able to decode what fish, invertebrates, and bacteria are present on the reef, ultimately informing the impacts of coral restoration and aiding ongoing management decisions.
