Description: Downloads, imports, cleans, classifies, enriches and exports biodiversity
    occurrence data, with an emphasis on reproducible Global Biodiversity
    Information Facility (GBIF) <https://api.gbif.org/v1/> workflows. The package
    supports batch occurrence downloads, taxonomic standardisation, coordinate
    cleaning, optional spatial thinning, spatial attribution and structured
    export of processed occurrence records and audit outputs. Terrestrial and
    freshwater workflows can join records to administrative units, protected
    areas, freshwater ecoregions, basins, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, wetlands and
    other contextual spatial overlays. Marine workflows support offshore and
    coastal records through joins to Marine Regions
    <https://www.marineregions.org/> style layers, Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
    units, marine ecoregions, Large Marine Ecosystems and user-supplied marine
    overlays. The package also supports native-range and invasive-status evidence
    workflows using the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS)
    <https://www.marinespecies.org/>, evidence derived from Standardising and
    Integrating Alien Species (SInAS) <https://zenodo.org/records/18220953>,
    and Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (GRIIS)
    <https://griis.org/> style species-country records. These tools are intended
    for biodiversity, macroecological and invasion-biology analyses where
    occurrence records need to be processed consistently, transparently and
    reproducibly.
