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.
