is ecosystem_subtype correct? Is there a definition for the gold term 'Coastal'?

[dwinston]

There are several /Environmental / Aquatic / Marine / \w+ / Sediment/ classification paths in GOLD, including Coastal. When I enter "deep marine sediment basin" into this path search tool I built, I see a "Marine basin floor" ecosystem_subtype, which matches the sample_collection_si field above, so it seems that would be more suitable than Coastal in this case?

[TBKReddy]

Reported biosample now showing marine basin floor as the ecosystem subtype. All other biosamples under this study have marine basin floor (or other relevant values) and none showing coastal for ecosystem subtype anymore. https://gold.jgi.doe.gov/biosamples?page=1&Study.GOLD+Study+ID=Gs0133461&Study.Relevance.ID_options=or&Biosample.Ecosystem+Type=Marine&count=500&desc=Biosample.Ecosystem+Subtype

@Jagadish Chandrabose Sundaramurthi check this out and close it. Looks like this has been taken care of on or around Feb 22nd.
