How Interesting Can It Be To Count To 3?

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Paletron's sudoku, EnTropic Islands, is one of those puzzles where, as you're solving it, you wonder how it can possibly exist. It seems to have been chiselled out of nature itself. A few circles is all that's required to make this 100%-rated masterpiece work.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/PgPqh88p3j

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Low digits (1, 2, 3), middle digits (4, 5, 6) and high digits (7, 8, 9) are defined as three different entropy groups. Orthogonally connected cells of the same entropy are entropic islands. Digit in a circle indicates the size of the island. An arrow between two cells points to the smaller digit.
