Tools such as eDNA sampling and metabarcoding have the potential to speed up detection and response but suffer from a lack of standardised protocols and are limited by current global databases.

The eDNA data allow computation of a wide range of the essential biodiversity variables, and open data reporting mechanisms are already in place.
