Miss Ovalau Eka Buadromo has won the Best Sarong, in the first public judging of the TFL Miss Fiji Pageant last night.
She says taking part in the pageant has taught her a lot.
The 24-year-old believes the simple things like the planting of mangroves or coconut tress along the coastal lines can help protect the only world heritage in the country, Levuka and every part of Fiji from the effects of climate change.
The Miss Fiji Talent Night will begin at 7 tonight at the Fiji Museum Stage.
Miss Fiji will be crowned at 7pm this Saturday.
She will then take part in the upcoming Miss Pacific Islands Pageant in December in Nadi.
