This is the western part (27,600km²) of Hispaniola. Reefs occur: in the south, near Ile a Vache; all around Ile de la Gonave in the central bay of Port-au-Prince; on the Rochelois Bank and at Les Iles Cayemites, off the northern coast of the southern peninsula; and in the north, from the border with the Dominican Republic in the east to the Baie de l’Acul just west of Cap Haitien.

The western third of the island of Hispaniola is Haiti with 1,535 km of coastline and a narrow continental shelf totaling approximately 5,000 km2. Well-developed coral reefs fringe long stretches of coastline, and there are offshore barrier and atoll-like reefs, and ‘walls’ of coral along the shelf edge. The highly productive and spectacular reefs are largely unexplored.
