Dataset Title

EcoMem Seagrass Dipnet Data 2025

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

I have a dataset from a colleague who is currently conducting an experiment on the effects of boat scars and grazing in seagrass meadows on their associated macrofauna communities. These records were collected using a dipnet at the sample sites, though there is no mention of sampling protocol in the data right now. The taxonomic information has DwC terms (scientificName, scientificNameID, and acceptedNameUsageID), but the remaining columns are not in Darwin Core.

Info about "raw" Data Files.

I have a single sheet with 9 columns: plotID, latitude, longitude, sample date, scientific name, aphiaID, just the numeric aphiaID, count, and dry weight in grams. This is pulled from a larger multiple sheet file my colleague maintains.
