2. Recommends strategies to operationalize applications of DNA barcoding in relevant regulatory and policy environments.
3. Identifies opportunities to exploit iBOL’s scientific achievements through commercial applications
4. Identifies issues related to GE³LS, that arise from the project, where appropriate.
