Establish a balanced ecosystem that will support animal lives such as dragonflies, bats, birds, and frogs, and potentially control the population of other vectors of diseases.

Seasonal dragonfly ponds, scattered lily pads, and necessary vegetation that will support the life cycle of dragonflies.

A floating bamboo pier that can be used by outsiders to dock their boats for a fee and enhanced walkways with rope railings for safety and ease of circulation among all types of people.

Scattered camu-camu trees that will utilize fecal matter as fertilizer to grow fruit for the residents and serve as habitats for birds and bats.
