abstract = {The North Coast of Dominican Republic is a tectonically rising coast drained by short rivers, with a
mean wave height of 1.5 m and microtidal tides .This coast develops an active reef flat bordering sandy
beaches and other deeper reef terraces. These terraces are located 5 and 15 meters deep and are separated
by high dip slopes with small chanyons bioclastic sandy aprons. The present paper characterizes the reef
terraces located in front of Puerto Plata coast from a morphosedimentary point of view. The active flat
displays live and dead coral reefs and wide Phanerogam prairies, whereas the deep reef terraces are
mainly constituted by a calcirrudite of bioclastic coral fragments whitout living corals},
