Lobster traps would be fine - they abound in tropical waters

There is one event where some villagers build a boat. It means you lose (I think) eight villagers.

In my experience it's a choice they make, you can't force them to but if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

eh, spearfishing that is, not boat building \:\) Haven't had that event, Arnie, and don't think I want it.

Both times it happened to me the village was 'mature', near to or on the maximum population. The villagers soon made up for the missing members. There must be some way of the program making sure that it doesn't happen early on; imagine if it occurred right at the start of the game.

I suppose in some games it could be considered a good thing; rather than waiting for the more elderly villagers to die off, there is a sudden injection of youth to make sure the tribe will continue.

Yeah, I would love to see fishing nets! Be nice to see them working together. \:\) Although if they did it too much the algae would probably come back! heh.. parrot kabobs...
Before I got the Sharp Tools puzzle done I thought that the picture for it was an arrow, and that they would try to hunt the parrots!

Sounds logical, but maybe that would be expecting a bit much.

But my villagers have never shown an interest in boat building whatsoever.
Yes, it's a shame they never bothered to research cement, isn't it? But then again, if they did, they'd probably have to build the huts out of it. *ugh!* They're much prettier the way they are.

The spearfishing was a novelty I hadn't expected. I was sure I imagined it the first time, or it was a glitch.

there is, but you have to be very insistent! just drop them on the edges of the ocean beach!
