• Return its named trophy to the lady by the forest lake.
• Follow the new yellow Radar marker.

• Catch an eligible endangered creature with the Standard Lure; Needlefish and Seahorse are confirmed options.

The Standard Lure table includes Bowlfish and a low-weight Blue Shark result; Salmon belongs to Beginner Lure instead. Coconut costs $350 on this island and has a dedicated Bing Bong pool.

The Standard Boss Lure costs $280 and gives Blue Shark a dedicated pool. Bring the defeated shark to the Grillmaster to start the grill; cooking can increase item value up to about 1.5× before burning destroys the value.

• Kiosk seller — sells weapons, balls, boat upgrades, radio and other island stock.
