Dataset Title

AMBON2017 Species Macroinfaunal taxa

Describe your dataset and any specific challenges or blockers you have or anticipate.

This data was collected using a van Veen grab (0.1m2) weighted with 32 kg of lead, and was used in the collection of sediment containing macroinfaunal samples. Since I'm not very familiar with the proper formatting for this system, one issue that seems like a challenge is standardizing taxonomic names and well as any other protocols for the other data variables in the file.

Info about "raw" Data Files.

The uploaded dataset has non-standardized taxonomic names and a numerical ID that is used internally (but was originally based on another organization's identification standards.
