==Geography ==
The reserve is located within the municipal limits of La Désirade. The land part of the reserve consists of two islands: Terre-de-Haut (High Earth, ) and Terre-de-Bas (Low Earth, ), with a narrow channel of width between them, forming the lagoon. It is south of La Désirade, and east of Pointe des Chateaux.〔
Terre-de-Bas consists of three marine habitats made up of reef flats which house living or dead coral communities, submerged rock slabs, and some seagrass areas. Terre de Haut has coral reefs with diverse communities, invested with large corals (''Acropora palmata''). The coral reef between the two islets gives protection to the lagoon where juvenile fish species thrive.〔
