This research outlines the integration of machine learning, citizen science, environmental DNA (eDNA), and other emerging technologies to enhance marine biodiversity and invasive alien species monitoring, discussed during a summer school organized by several European projects in June 2025. Furthermore, monitoring approaches are increasingly complemented by remote sensing, drones, and machine learning to expand spatial coverage...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing at an unprecedented pace, offering transformative opportunities for marine research, fisheries management, environmental governance and policy development. Particularly in the context of the interconnected data needs of ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation, these technologies can enhance data acquisition, processing and decision support, enabling more integrated approache...
