Effective management of biodiversity requires regular surveillance of multiple species. Analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) by metabarcoding holds promise to achieve this relatively easily. However, taxonomy‐focused eDNA surveys need suitable molecular reference data, which are often lacking, particularly at the species level and for remote locations. To evaluate the comparability of environmental DNA surveys and traditional surveys in a real‐life case study in a marine area of high conserva...
