Comments

Lovely land area lovely fish choice lovely crabs. What a pity that you didn't put the same time and effort into the water area when the rules clearly state that the water areas is weighted as heavily as the land area.

While a bit crowded and jumbled I like the terrestrial part but your aquatics section is lacking.
