Bahama Banks
The
Bahama Banks
are the submerged
carbonate platforms
that make up much of the
Bahama
Archipelago. The term is usually applied in referring to either the Great Bahama Bank around
Andros Island
, or the Little Bahama Bank of
Grand Bahama
Island and
Great Abaco
, which are the largest of the platforms, and the
Cay Sal Bank
north of
Cuba
. The islands of these banks are politically part of the
Bahamas
. Other banks are the three banks of the
Turks and Caicos Islands
, namely the Caicos Bank of the
Caicos Islands
, the bank of the
Turks Islands
, and wholly submerged
Mouchoir Bank
. Further southeast are the equally wholly submerged
Silver Bank
and
Navidad Bank
north of the
Dominican Republic
.
