JNCC recently hosted a workshop in Manchester on eDNA / molecular techniques; SNH staff returned inspired. I'm hoping there are no additional requirements here, my opinion is this system is not a repository for eDNA profiles and certainly not mapping of the genome ;-) so I feel there is no new user story here. However, there should be no reason why taxa presence derived from eDNA could not be stored here. So it might be worth touching base with JNCC colleagues to ensure that the method table fields support recording of taxa determined by eDNA/ molecular techniques, my feeling is this is simply an additional method rather than extra fields but worth briefly thinking about.
