New environmental DNA service transforming UK biodiversity surveys are showcased at Oceanology International and Earth Science Congress 2026

March 05, 2026

We are pleased to announce the UK’s new and innovative environmental DNA (eDNA) service that is transforming how biodiversity is measured and understood across Britain will be showcased at Oceanology International 2026 at Excel, London, and Earth Science Congress 2026 at Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel.

Following strong interest from environmental, infrastructure and energy stakeholders, eDNA will be showcased to marine, environmental, ecological and geoscience audiences seeking smarter, science-led approaches to biodiversity monitoring and ecological assessment.

Oceanology International 2026

At Oceanology International, the focus will be on how eDNA is supporting the marine sector with non-invasive biodiversity monitoring helping offshore developers, marine operators and regulators better understand ecosystem presence, change and risk across project lifecycles.

Earth Science Congress 2026

At Earth Science Congress, attention turns to how eDNA strengthens terrestrial and freshwater environmental assessments, supporting planners, consultants and environmental scientists with robust, data-driven ecological insight.

What is eDNA?

By analysing genetic traces left behind by organisms in water, soil or sediment, eDNA enables faster, broader and more sensitive species detection compared with traditional survey methods. The result: clearer environmental intelligence to support compliance, planning, sustainability and long-term monitoring strategies.

If you’re attending either event in March 2026, we’d welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how eDNA can support your environmental monitoring objectives.
