**__SETTLEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS__**

Note: the following is based on the provided Botanist report, Zoologist report, map of the island and the knowledge of our team (The Island, 2011). Our team chose to focus on the basic needs of people i.e. access to food, water, shelter and communication.

__**Location 1: Corner of B5/B6 and C5/C6**__
 * Access to fresh water, however not close enough to be concerned by flooding i.e. drinking water.
 * Access to fresh water animals i.e. fish.
 * Soil will be rich as close to fresh water i.e. farming, planting vegetables/food.
 * Ideal level above sea level eg. During winter, conditions not too cold, avoiding flooding (global warming, rising waters)

__**Location 2: Between B7-C7**__
 * Near beach, access to coconut palms.
 * Access to coconut crabs and lobsters.
 * Fish and sea-life for food.
 * Accessible for ships, boats, etc. in order to communicate and trade with other countries/the outside world.
 * Tourism opportunities.

__**Location 3: C2**__
 * Access to river i.e. drinking water.
