Thanks, the coastlines are in are in accurate and I was trying to fix a small area. The problem that is see is that the same coastline when compared to yahoo satellite image, are shown at different offsets.

There's possibly inaccuracies  in the original coastlines. 
I'd suggest reading about how coastlines are handled (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Coastline)
and then making an inquiry to the main dev at openstreetmap.org list.
