eDNA data has the potential to improve our ability to make science-based decisions across a wide range of objectives – from community efforts to biosecurity risk management to large scale ecological and conservation measures. However, if the insights created are fragmented, not accesible and do not connect with stakeholders and operational needs, eDNA will fail to live up to its potential. While dashboards are a tool that is currently underutilised by the field, we will demonstrate first examples of dashboards that have successfully bridged the described gaps to embed eDNA science into day-to-day decision making and stakeholder engagement. We showcase a group of storytelling dashboards that allows users to explorer marine biodiversity and species distribution within Australia’s Marine Parks, explore detections in the context of IUCN status and visualise efforts by research vessels and create visibility of their findings. Finally, we will share how operational intelligence and decision support can be provided through dedicated platforms that allows for custom queries addressing highly diverse information and notification needs and display the value of data sharing across institutional and country boundaries.
