Residential AreasAprox. 1500 persons, distributed over roughly 150 residential units, with 1 to 3 main boats each (an average of 10 persons for each unit). Each unit may include a Sauna (essential
), Wind turbine, Aquaculture grid (small - 5x5m aprox.), Support building(s) (workshop, hen house, etc...) Some row boats and/or kayaks and/or small rafts (for short trips inside town) and smaller items like plants in pots, flags...
Aquaculture Areas (fish farms)Consisting in several round (aprox. 20m diam.) or square (15x15m aprox.) units, plus support boats and buildings/boats for storage, tools, etc... Those units are scattered along the internal limits of the defensive perimeter.
Defensive Perimeter and GatesA great water fence encircles the town. It's composed by two lines of buoys that keep an underwater net on position. At the surface all buoys are connected by barbed wire. The space between the external and internal fence is aprox. 10m wide and only the maintenance and security boats can move there.
There's a single water gate in the fence to allow boats in and out the city. It's composed by two parallel, interconnected barges that define a channel protected by gates at both ends, creating an "airlock" (one gate is always closed when the other opens).
Those gates have watchtowers on their sides with harpoons and guns (but guns are to be used only in emergencies because the noise may attract more critters).
Over each barge there's a wooden building. One is for the security personal and quarantine (as in Lalli's island, everybody that goes out has to spend time there). The other has accommodations for the fishermen. They sleep, eat and rest there along their shifts (4 weeks fishing, 2 quarantined, 2 at town - it's hard, but these are hard times). The "airlock" inside is their harbour, and their catch is delivered with baskets, nets and cranes, always without direct contact with the ones inside.
The perimeter continues on the land connection between the town and a small island. There the "airlock" is made by a ferry that is equipped with drawbridges on both tops. On each side there's a floating building and it works like the water gate. There are hunters/gathers and also a few farmers. Farms are outside the perimeter and considered a dangerous job, albeit a profitable one because vegetables are rare and expensive. Inside the perimeter, on land, there are sheds for cattle and a barn. The cattle is supervised daily to check for any signs of infection.
There's also an external fence along the shore of this farm island, but it's not very safe.
Central AreaMade by an intricate mix of boats of different sizes, floating buildings and connections, including some overhanging passages directly between boats. The city centre is a large cargo ship, the biggest one in the town. It has been adapted to contain several stores inside, acting as a central market. The upper deck is an open forum where people meet each other for business and leisure. The bridge and upper decks of that ship work as an administrative building / town hall.
Other boats or buildings in this area function as school, library, hospital, workshops, etc..
