Atlantic Ocean. There are nearly 700 islands and over 2,000 cays in the
archipelago, of which only about 40 islands are inhabited. These islands
comprise two oceanic banks, (1.) the Bahama Bank and (2.) the Great Bahama Bank.

and mangroves swamps. The shorelines are marked with coral reefs and there are
no navigable rivers. Major Cities (pop. est.); Greater Nassau 172,000, Freeport/Lucaya
