Map of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
The Turks and Caicos Islands are around 60 km (37 miles) long and consist of over 40 islands and cays. They form a British Overseas Territory. There are roughly 30,000 inhabitants on the islands.
The archipelago consists of two island groups, the Turks islands and the Caicos islands, of which Grand Turk and Providenciales are the two main islands. These islands are in the Atlantic Ocean and not the Caribbean Sea, although they are included in the Caribbean region.
A cay, also spelled caye or key, is a small low-elevation sandy island on the surface of a coral reef. Cays occur in tropical environments throughout the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

Coat of arms.
From Wikipedia:
The coat of arms of the Turks and Caicos Islands was granted in 1965. The arms consist of a shield bearing a conch shell, a lobster and a cactus on a yellow background. The dexter and sinister supporters are flamingos. The crest is a pelican between two sisal plants representing connection to the rope industry.
The cactus, which is visually similar to the traditional Turkish fez, give the islands the first half of their name.
