The
Dominican Republic, aside from being on the eastern part of
Hispaniola (an island which it shares with
Haiti), contains many small islands as part of a territory. There were two islands, Cabritos Island, that were in the Isla Cabritos National Park (Parque Nacional Isla Cabritos) on
Lake Enriquillo. They were submerged by December 2011.) The other islands are on the
Atlantic Ocean or
Caribbean Sea (see map link to the right).[1][2]
