Cozza Waterway

The Cozza Waterway is a Geographic Structure and can be classified as something between a river, a swamp and a sea, located in North Corsica. Upstream, it flows through West Corsica Mainland, an area that is almost completely devoided of roads, offering the only transport route in the area. Downstream, it separates West Corsica Mainland from Moles Island North. The waterway ends by reaching the North Coastal Waterway, a narrow strip of navigable waterway that reaches Linden Memorial. Halfway, it meets the Tiny Channel, merging with it. The Tiny Channel is an important navigation route that leads South to the rest of the continental waterways and separates mainland Corsica from the Moles Island and other islands.

## Geography

The waterway starts in East, in the sim Valarian. There, it looks more like a dredged canal in a swamp, with many surrounding parcels being below sea level. It flows West mainly in straight lines along sim borders, which gives it the aspect of a dug canal rather than of a river.

Further West, in Bissorte, it meets another canal which flows from Clearbrook and also passes through areas with shores placed far and many submerged parcels. The Bissorte Canal has the same length as the Bissorte - Valarian section.

From Bissorte, the canal continues West and reaches Cozza, which is a Linden-owned water sim, entirely submerged. Cozza is mostly flat, with deep water. The shores can often be seen in North rising above surface. A bit further West, there are two large water sims, Skahan and Skains, both Linden-owned and both with a protected Northern coastline. There are no docks or rezz zones. Skains is the place where the Tiny Channel joins from South. It also marks the point where the waterway separates Corsica Mainland from the Moles Island.

The Western part of the waterway goes through two large water sims, Skeels and Crabbs, both Linden-owned and both with little shores in North-East. After this, there is a short canal that finally connects the waterway with Corsica's North Coast waterway network.

## Importance

The Cozza Waterway is the main transport route along the West Corsica Mainland, a large area without roads. Most of the area is a long peninsula separated between the Cozza Waterway and the North Coastal Waterway. Apart from providing the only access way to the area, Cozza Waterway is an important Geographic feature, separating subcontinents.

For those interested in buying a cheap waterfront land, this is a good place. Land prices are not high. Of course, this comes at a price, as sailing from here to popular destinations in Nautilus or the Blake Sea is difficult, requires passing through many narrow waterways and is time consuming, but it also means that the area is far quieter.

## Access

Apart from teleporting, which is the fastest way to get around, sailors can enter the Cozza Waterway from the Tiny Channel or from the North. At its Eastern end in Valarian, the waterway is close to (but does not touch) the Circuit Road. SLGI Fleet has a designated ship that visits the area from the East to Cozza sim. Further access Westwards is impossible because some parcels don't allow objects entry.
