Congratulations to the Pelagic Ecosystems Lab in UBC’s Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries, which was the recipient of a BC Conservation & Biodiversity Award for a project to provide high resolution zooplankton biodiversity data by integrating eDNA, and the Zooscan imaging system to establish a biodiversity benchmark for the wider BC coast.

The BC Conservation & Biodiversity Awards celebrate the 2024 Award recipients, all based in BC, who are recognized for their exceptional efforts in enhancing BC’s natural environment and safeguarding its wilderness and biodiversity through their charitable work.

The project work will be undertaken by Lab member Deniz Coskumer, as part of her MSc work, and guided by the Lab’s Principal Investigator, Dr. Brian Hunt.
