<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">I have been trying for months to find a way of selecting the records of a land based species that have accidentally been recorded in
the sea i.e. not on one of the land polygons. I’ve tried qgis and mapinfo and not been able to find a way of selecting records that are NOT on the land. Have tried adding a sea layer but both mapinfo and qgis crash (out of memory) when trying to cookie cut
this to produce a sea only polygon. The very annoying thing is that I did manage to do this once so know it is possible but just can’t remember how and I’ve not been able to find any documentation that would help.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>, the vector basemap covers the whole world and the ‘ocean’ also covers the whole world.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
