You could use a list of lists (a 2D array)
a 3x3 might look like: thelist = [[1,1,0],[1,0,0],[0,1,1]]
110
100
011
and you can easily look at any 'square' with: thelist[y][x]
You could replace each of the 'squares' with a property list and be able
to keep track of all manner of terrain information. And you could have
lists in those lists that keep track of how many of each kind of fish
there are...
