Aside from the big mainland island, Puerto Rico has 98 inlets and islands of considerable size, which totals 8,313.4 square miles and over 799 miles of coastline. These studies were made by Hector G. Marrero, who actually measured all of Puerto Rico's archipelago (islands). The big and main island of Puerto Rico was thought to be the smallest of the Greater Antillians, but actually, the big island of Puerto Rico is bigger than Jamaica by more than 500 square miles. Puerto Rico's archipelago has been unaccounted for or not taken into consideration due to lack of research or studies; today, we now know that Puerto Rico total archipelago totals 8,313.4 square miles and has over 799 miles of coastline; pretty significant compare to what was thought -3,435 square miles.
