9th International Workshop and Symposium for Mangrove Biodiversity Studies by eDNA Metabarcoding

Workshop: 6 January - 16 February, 2025
(with a Symposium on 9th and 10th Feb.)
at the Iriomote Station, TBRC, University of the Ryukyus

Co-sponsored by JSPS Core to Core, e-Asia, AJ-CORE, KAKENHI International (B), OcenShot(Tohoku Univ),  and COI-Next@Tohoku Univ.

Welcome to Iriomote Station!

We are pleased to hold the “9th International Workshop for Mangrove Biodiversity Studies by eDNA Metabarcoding” at Iriomote Station, Tropical Biosphere Research Center (TBRC), University of the Ryukyus, Japan for 29 Jan - 14 Feb. 2025.

The international collaboration project for eDNA research on global mangroves started in 2020 by obtaining support from JSPS Core to Core. The project successfully finished at the end of March 2023, and we started the second phase of the program by obtaining support from JSPS Core to Core in April 2024. We will explore further collaborations with Ocean Shot and Nature Positive oriented projects launched at Tohoku University.

In this one-week workshop, we will provide basic training for 12 participants from 8 countries to further use of eDNA metabarcoding for their own studies.
