Cleaned species occurrence data from 2005 to 2025 from GBIF as part of a workflow to assemble species and community temperature indices for Port Fourchon, LA in 2006, 2016, 2022 and 2023

This dataset is part of a workflow to assemble species temperature indices and community temperature indices for estuarine fauna of Port Fourchon, LA based on drop sampling studies from 2006, 2016, and 2022/2023. This step assembles GBIF occurrence records for all taxa detected in the Port Fourchon nekton surveys, cleans spatial artifacts, and delivers per-taxon CSVs ready for thermal niche extraction. The workflow expands harmonized taxon names into GBIF queries, submits authenticated bulk downloads, filters out problematic coordinates and land points, and documents all DOI citations needed for downstream analyses and reporting.
