land-based

Not at sea

Land-based means situated on or operating from land rather than water, air, or space.

The term typically distinguishes one version of something from alternatives: land-based missiles versus submarine-launched ones, land-based casinos versus online gambling, land-based fishing versus fishing from a boat.
