Implications and caveats
Severity: Error
Expected species environment is determined by IRMNG (https://www.irmng.org/), the environment of the occurrence point location is determined based on it's coordinates against the cl1048 IBRA 7 regions (terrestrial) spatial layer or cl21 IMCRA 4 regions (marine) spatial layer
- May indicate an inaccurate identification or location
- Spatial uncertainty may move points over the marine/terrestrial boundary in coastal areas
- Some species are both marine and terrestrial however the current IRMNG data only provides a single value
