Team Pacific has been allocated the settlement area of The Port: X marks the spot

__//**Reflection on The Port location**//__

__**Positive**__ Bay: Calm Waters, Suitable for shipping and cargo boats to enter and exit safely Within 20kms of a river Fishing for food supplies Close to woodland trees which can be used to build shelter/rafts etc as well as be used for fire wood to cook food and provide warmth Flat open land which could be cleared and used to grow crops and grazing as well as build infrastructure Low elevation so it won't be as cold at night and also less windy Access to the natural food growing in the forest, however it is not within 20 km's

__**Minus**__ Nearby swamps: May cause potential safety concerns due to high levels of bacteria, mosquitoes which can carry infections (which could be deadly if they don't have the right medical facilities) and may also have crocodiles. Minimal Rainfall may affect potential harvesting Furthest from other settlements which may cause issues in relation to transport and social interaction Scrub land will most likely be homes to snakes which could be deadly if the right medical facilities aren't provided Close to animal friendly habitats which may bring with them unwanted animals.

__**Interesting**__ Potential Trade opportunities as a result of the Port- allow settlements import and export Is the closest water supply fresh and drinkable? River flowing down from the mountains which may have fresh drinking water however it is not within 20 kms Can we launch a boat/raft for transport from somewhere other than the port? For example, the beach? Is it calm waters?
