Nicaragua Canal Project Could Bring Yellow-Bellied Sea Snakes Into Caribbean

By John B. Virata

A canal project that connects the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea via Lake Nicaragua and was recently approved by the government of Nicaragua could provide a waterway for the yellow-bellied sea snake (Pelamis platura) to travel into Lake Nicaragua as well as into the Caribbean Sea, where there are no sea snakes.

The arrival of the sea snake and other organisms into Lake Nicaragua and into the Caribbean could have potentially detrimental effects to their respective ecosystems, according to scientists.

"Like any invasive species, it is often difficult to predict the impact, John Murphy, herpetologist and research associate at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago told Discovery News. "But, the freshwater fish of the lake would be naïve to the snakes and some could be extirpated.

Murphy told Discovery News that although Pelamis platura could survive in the lake, the snake has a slow reproduction rate (one to three offspring in a clutch at a time), which would limit its capability to dominate the lake. A seemingly larger concern would be a potential pathway for the snake to the Caribbean Sea, which has no native sea snakes.

The canal would also bring sea water into the lake that could then change its pH and temperature, possibly disrupting the flora and fauna that reside in the lake, and the water coming out of the lake and into the Caribbean Sea could have a negative effect on Nicaragua's coastal mangroves forests, an area in which Hawksbill sea turtles live and forage.
