The second iteration of the international conference “Pathway to Increase Standards and Competency of eDNA Surveys” (PISCeS) was held at the University of Guelph between June 18 and 20, 2023. Academia, regulators, industry, NGO’s, and Indigenous partners were all invited to join in a discussion on public policy, industry strategies and future research on eDNA. The conference also included three panel discussions focused on prominent themes in the eDNA space, and five workshops dedicated to practical eDNA tools and methods. A comprehensive summary of the major themes covered was subsequently published in Genome and is available to review here.
