I feed Toma Toes to my Naugas, which of course I raise only for their Hides.

Does anybody have an opinion about this strange "Gwizz port" and some ideas to employ it creatively? Thanks in advance.
Maybe they should turn to churches?

Not really. I think the Gwizz port is more of a cute oddity than a useful game asset. The problems are:
1/ In default form it does not actually behave as a port. In other words, it does not transfer cargo price from land to water (or water to land).
2/ It only has a small station cargo capture area.
3/ Due to it having to be placed at the edge of the water, most of the small capture area is not on land.
4/ The result is that it is pretty useless as a station.
5/ The amount of pax it generates can be made up with one large house.
6/ If you really need troops too, a barracks has a small footprint and will make troops.
Note that you can fix 1/ and 2/ by hex editing the Gwizz port, but you still have the other issues. IMO it makes more sense to use a standard station and a standard port for better cargo coverage.
