Hi,

this has to do with the resolution of the maps and the accuracy of the points in coastal areas, we will hardly ever be able to not have these type of errors. In order to explore them, we added a map viewer in http://rshiny.lifewatch.be/BioCheck/ that will help the users to assess if this is a false positive or an actual record on land.

I hope this helps
