Wilderlab took out the Supreme Award at MPI's annual Biosecurity Awards last night.
Wilderlab monitors thousands of kilometers of our waterways for tens of thousands of species every week.

All from just a cup or two of water. Community scientists, Regional Councils and DOC are among those using the tech to combat biodiversity and biosecurity challenges.
