Tarawa
Tarawa is an atoll and the capital of the Republic of Kiribati,〔http://www.kiribatitourism.gov.ki/index.php/aboutkiribati/aboutkiribatioverview |title = Kiribati government website |publisher = Government of Kiribati | accessdate = 2014-05-29〕〔https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/kr.html |title = CIA〕〔http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-5000500.htm |title = European Union - list of countries in the world〕 in the central Pacific Ocean. It comprises North Tarawa, which has much in common with other, more remote islands of the Gilberts group; and South Tarawa, which is home to 50,182 - half of the country's total population.〔(Country files at earth-info.nga.mil )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mfed.gov.ki/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Census-Report-2010-Volume-1.pdf )〕 The atoll is best known by outsiders as the site of the Battle of Tarawa during World War II.
==Geography==
Tarawa has a large lagoon, of over 500 km2, and a wide reef. Although naturally abundant in fish and shellfish of all kinds, marine resources are being overharvested by the large and growing population. Drought is frequent, but in normal years rainfall is sufficient to maintain breadfruit, papaya and banana trees as well as coconut and pandanus.
North Tarawa consists of a string of islets, with the most northern islet being Buariki. The islets are separated in places by wide channels that are best crossed at low tide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.climate.gov.ki/about-kiribati/island-reports-201/north-tarawa/ )〕
On South Tarawa, the construction of causeways has now created a single strip of land from Betio in the West to Buota in the Northeast.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.climate.gov.ki/about-kiribati/island-reports-201/south-tarawa/ )〕
