The Caribbean is a semi-enclosed sea adjacent to the landmasses of Central and South America. The closely spaced chain of islands, banks, and sills of the Antilles Islands Arc separate the Caribbean from the Atlantic Ocean and act as a sieve for the inflow of Atlantic water. Cuba, Dominican Replublic and Puerto Rico are the biggest of these islands.
