Abstract
The Netherlands Antillean islands Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire are located near the north coast of western Venezuela. The two latter islands are situated 64 and 87 km from the mainland, and separated by water about 1500 metres deep. Aruba, on the other hand, is on the coastal shelf, and is only 27 kilometres in a direct line from Cape Román, peninsula of Paraguaná.; the sea between is shallow and no more than about zoo metres deep. It is excellent water for canoe navigation, and is well known for its good fishing grounds.
