Small pacific islands missing in the habitat map owing to gaps in Copernicus

[Martin-Jung]

Reported by @rasenior :

Small islands in the pacific are currently missing the habitat map. This is due to data gaps in the underlying Copernicus product, which can be visualized as follows:

var dataset = ee.Image("COPERNICUS/Landcover/100m/Proba-V-C3/Global/2019")
.select('discrete_classification');
Map.setCenter(-88.6, 26.4, 1);
Map.addLayer(dataset, {}, "Land Cover");

Could potentially be fixed by implementing a data fusion approach, reverting to other global land cover products (ESA?) for these regions only. Although resolution won't be as high as for the rest of the world, but better than a data gap...
