Imagine a sentient species that arewith these attributes:

  • not very advanced (think primal tribes)
  • can breathe underwater
  • good swimmers
  • feed on seafood (fish, algae)
  • live in a high fantasy world with orcs/elves/etc

The specimen are amphibious and can live on surface as well. They have no larval stage, their children are water-breathing from birth. In a Earth-like world, what reasons could they have to build coastal (but not underwater) villages?
