__**Settlement Recommendation 'B4'**__ __**Settlement Purpose**__: to raise and keep livestock.


 * < **Positive** ||< **Minus ** ||< **Implications ** ||
 * < * Access to water on shore line and rivers
 * Low scrub provides vegetation for the live-stock to eat as well as shows there is viable soil to maintain vegetation growth
 * There are mountains behind us and on the west of us which will help protect us from the high winds.
 * It’s on elevated land which will protect us from tsunamis.
 * There are river flows close by, this gives us fresh water for our animals.
 * This area of the island features higher ground therefore in the instance of aflood or natural disaster, the community and livestock would be able to find a place to remain safe
 * We will be able to benefit from the following.
 * Meat (a source for energy, dietary and protein.)
 * Dairy Products. (A source of milk, yogurt, cheese, butter, ice cream.)
 * Fiber (a source of wool and leather.)
 * Fertilizers (the waste that comes out of our animals can be used to enrich the soil.)
 * Labor ( horses can be used to transport around the livestock area as it is environmental better.) ||< * This area of the island lacks tall or woodland trees to protect against wind or sun
 * The ground rises consistently in this area, building safe and stable foundations for buildings may prove difficult as well as the possibility of losing livestock from them falling down the hill.
 * There are higher mountains from the south and the west, though this may not entirely protect our animals from high winds.
 * If the water from the river is not fresh, we would have to transport water from other parts of the island.
 * Transporting food on a daily/weekly basis to feed our animals and civilians.
 * It’s on a sandy beach. It may be hard to build on sand as we don’t know how deep the sand the sand beach is? Is it suitable to build shelters on? ||< * Livestock would be able to survive on this area of the island as there is readily available vegetation, soil to grow more suitable food and water, though there is a lack of natural shelter.
 * The sandy beach may cause some problems with keeping our livestock contained from not running away.
 * Although there are rivers running through this area there is the question of how fresh the water is and how far inland we'd have to go before the water is drinkable for the livestock.
 * The lack of natural shelter may cause a problem for our livestock when there are high winds and torrential rain. ||
