Here's another Aquapelago on a Snub Square, a geometry that has been somewhat snubbed on GAPP.

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells share an edge and the remaining unshaded cells form one edge-connected area. No internal grid vertex can be surrounded entirely by unshaded cells. Clued cells must be shaded, and indicate the number of shaded cells in the vertex-connected group they belong to.

Here are some of the previous classic Aquapelago in case you want to brush up on your island building skills:
