Make a new river, you get a new nymph for free.  The same is true of Dryads and their relationship with forests.  Dryads babies come from trees, not other dryads.  The are incarnated female as a representation of their productivity and nurturing status as habitat for other life.Sailors are pretty undiscriminating bunch.  For one thing, the usual alternative to a mermaid is another sailor, and the fiddly bits are all wrong their as well and sailors are generally alot less clean than mermaids but none of that stops them.   Creative minded sentient beings can usually work out ways to please each other even without compatible fiddly bits.  Besides, it's possible that mermaids are attacted to sailors because mermen don't really have as entertaining of an approach to the act or for that matter, as interesting of an endowment in the fiddly bit region.  Curiousity, after all, is in the female an urge that springs from the loins*, and really, whose to say what a half mammal-half fish even has in the fiddly bit department.  *In men, everything is an urge that springs from the loins.</blockquote>
