Planet with a half-drowned city, because the human colonists originally didn't take account of the two moons and built their settlement too close to the sea--and then the ocean rose, from the pull of the moons.
The main character, whose name I think is Tyree (I'm doing this without resorting to Amazon...) and his family are among those who live in the half-drowned city. They're the objects of tourist curiosity for their lifestyle. They fish and salvage.
He befriends (or is befriended by) one of the native dwellers of the planet, who teaches him music.
He also has a blind sister. The father finds a strange cube which, whatever facet you touch, it gives you a different sensation under your fingers, and he gives it to the sister.
A developer wants to .... do something. Tear down the old city and settle the people on land, I think, and he also wants the cube. His name is Satin, which at the time I read it, I thought was Satan.
There are great descriptions of fishing, and there is a sea dragon.
