Provide a description.

Using the example in the documentation for the R package voluModel as a template, this notebook will use a subset of IOOS Marine Life/MBON data to provide an example of species distribution modeling that accounts for the depth of the occurrence. Environmental variables are pulled from the World Ocean Atlas.

I've started to work on this, and I think I am going to focus on yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus for the example.

I'm creating the conda-forge packages for volumodel and its dependencies in conda-forge/staged-recipes#26896. We will need them in the IOOS conda environment to run the notebook in the CIs here.

In addition to this, it looks like some functionality is being added to rgbif to allow users to grab occurrences using a download DOI. We can showcase that in this notebook if it is ready in time. See gbif/portal-feedback#5389 (comment)
