The download_gbr_spatial() function returns one of four spatial datasets:
GBR_base
return = "base" returns the raw data downloaded from
https://nextcloud.eatlas.org.au/s/xQ8neGxxCbgWGSd/download/TS_AIMS_NESP_Torres_Strait_Features_V1b_with_GBR_Features.zip"
The dataset spans 8390 unique LABEL_ID including all GBR features (FEAT_NAME includes Bank, Reef, Terrestrial Reef, Rock, Other, Mainland, Cay, Island, Sand)

GBR_reefs
return = "combined" groups reefs by LABEL_ID, dissolves to one geometry per ID (summarise(st_union)), calculates polygon area (st_area()) for each LABEL_ID, and returns 4612 unique LABEL_ID as either polygons or multipolygons.

In the full GBR dataset, “LABEL_ID” is split into multiple subgroups. For example, LABEL_ID 09-355 includes 26 sublevels (a,b,c,d, through to a1, a0). This includes Wapa Reef by LOC_NAME_S but also U/N Sand Bank. With return="combined" all sublevels of LABEL_ID are combined to a single multipolygon which adopts the LOC_NAME_S (see below for Wapa Reef example).
Non-GBR content (including Mornington, Forsyth & South Wellesley Islands in the Gulf of Carpenteria, and all shoals Y_COORD < -25) and are additionally removed.
GBR_hull
return = "hull" returns a single polygon, which is a single convex hull around all FEAT_NAME = “Reef”, “Terrestrial Reef”, “Island”, “Rock”, “Bank” with an additional 1km buffer. As the original file included a lake in outback Queensland the subset of FEAT_NAME that overlap with the LOC_NAME_S == "Mainland (99-000)") and non-GBR content (including Mornington, Forsyth & South Wellesley Islands in the Gulf of Carpenteria, and Y_COORD < -25) and are removed prior to creating the convex hull.
