Abstract

This document summarises the key findings from the “INSITEs Into Marine Monitoring” webinar held on November 30th, 2023. The evidence presented demonstrates that advancements in marine monitoring offer novel data collection methods capable of addressing comprehensive ecosystem-level questions. The AT-SEA project showcased how autonomous monitoring can gather extensive high-resolution data to allow the measurement of various physical, chemical and biological parameters. The NS3D project employs fast species identification and mapping, alongside modelling volume, and biomass of marine animals. The FuECoMMS project highlighted the potential of using environmental DNA (eDNA) for understanding ecosystem processes, chemical functioning, and environmental health. Collectively, the projects emphasise how future monitoring can shift from species focused approaches to holistic ecosystem assessments, supporting informed decision-making for strategic planning and policy.
