I would have thought that they would be landing on land.

Do you think scheduling conflicts of the landing site, forces them to land at sea?

This is a launch of a geosynchronous satellite, so the first stage will be going too fast and not have enough fuel to make it back to land.

The orbit they are shooting for determines the landing spot.
