The Koro Fiji contents:

Koro Island

Koro Island has an area of 109 km² and is shaped like a shark's tooth. It is a volcanic island that forms part of the Lomaiviti group of islands. As seen in the map, it's located in the middle of Fiji with the Koro Sea, which is fantastic for diving, to the right.

As of 2013, the Fijian population on the island is 4,500 living in 14 villages. Koro is one of the most fertile islands in Fiji possessing large plantations and a vibrant tropical forest. Bird watches will love Koro. Copra, Taro, and forestry are the major income earners for the island.

Koro has an airstrip on the east coast. Schools, medical stations, a post office,
and a Western Union are present with 3G due in 2014.
