title: eDNA metabarcoding coastal marine sea water samples
design: We sampled coastal sea water to filter environmental DNA for biodiversity monitoring in Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore. Both a fish marker (12S MiFishU primers) and general biodiversity (COI Leray et al. 2013) marker to identify marine fishes and invertebrates.
