Editors

The Coral Trait Database replies on expert volunteers who monitor contributions to the database. Editors are assigned one or more traits to monitor for data quality and issue reports. If you add a new trait to the database, you might be asked to volunteer as the editor for this trait. Editors are automatically emailed when new data for their traits are entered or issues are reported.
