The development of the reefs in these coasts is very poor due to low salinities and high sedimentation that results from the continuous fluvial discharges of the Orinoco and San Juan rivers. The highest reef development in Venezuela is reached in the oceanic islands, such as ArchipiƩlago de Aves, Archipelago de Los Roques, La Orchila, La Tortuga, La Blanquilla, Isla Los Hermanos. The Islands of the continental shelf located at the eastern region of Venezuela are Margarita, Coche, Cubagua, Islas Caracas, Islas Chimanas, Islas Borrachas and Isletas de Piritu, here reefs could arise but their development might be limited by upwelling conditions.
