CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Class-level sweep (see docs/HARMONIZATION.md#class-level-sweep): no term in the vendored slice matched this label by any search route. Whether the concept is a habitat at all was NOT assessed, so this is not yet a term-request candidate. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.059724892c)

SOURCE_PARENT_EXCLUDED
Excluded GOLD source-path parent contribution ENVO:00002150 for habitatmech:GOLD.059724892c (Environmental > Aquatic > Marine > Neritic zone/Coastal water > Subtidal zone). ITEM hierarchy assessment (#1564): NOAA Aquatic Setting A_TIDE_ZONE metadata (https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/49263) describes a spatial inundation zone; current ENVO:00002150 denotes coastal sea-water material. A zone is not a type of that material. Suppress only this context contribution; preserve GOLD7947, source path, mint, category, zero-count omission and existing identity-review status. Marine sub-littoral zone has unresolved scope qualifications; a marine subtidal rocky reef is not a generic subtidal zone. No replacement identity or definition is asserted.
