Hi there!

Como se traduziria "laje" especificamente no linguajar marítimo? Vide frase abaixo:

Neste arquipélago, ao norte da ilha principal encontram-se as Ilhas Crioulas, um conjunto de três pequenas ilhas rochosas e planas (lajes, na linguagem marítima)

Procurando na internet, não me parece que "slab" seja adequada. Achei algumas poucas referências à "flat rock island", mas como o contexto pede especificamente no linguajar marítimo, peço ajuda.
