If I could suggest priorities they would be: 1. Finding a slightly nicer basic colour scale, from 'hot' to 'not', and a complementary sea colour. This is the most important decision for making the graphic sing I think. Quite a dark colour for the sea would be best, I feel.
2. A nice big title along the top 3. Overlaid place names, but not so many it blots out the information the map contains. Once it has those basic things, it might be 'done', but if it isn't, those are the basis for working out what optional extras to add.
