L'Île Coco
Island in Mauritius
L'Île Coco (Coco Island) is one of the longest islands adjoining the inner lagoon of the St. Brandon archipelago. It is at times inhabited by fishermen as a base for the resident fishing company's fishing activities as well as for fly fishing and fly-casting activities.
France Staub visited this island in 1968 and the research he carried out was later the subject of his seminal Mauritian conservation book called Birds of the Mascarenes and Saint Brandon.[1] It is inhabited by many tens of thousands of sea birds and was one of the reasons the islands of St. Brandon were later declared an Important Bird Area ('IBA').[2]
