The detection issue has been answered elsewhere, however you are facing a couple issues. One labour intensive approach would be to create polygons of all the landmasses. You could then simply determine which polygon the point fell within or near. There is a point in polygon script around. Once the closest polygon was determined, you could calculate the closest point on the polygon and create a marker there. You could make the marker slideable if you modified the snap to polyline script which someone (Bjorn?) developed.
