Résumé
Marine snakes represent the most speciose group of marine reptiles and are a significant
component of reef and coastal ecosystems in tropical oceans. Research on this group
has historically been challenging due to the difficulty in capturing, handling, and keeping
these animals for field- and lab-based research. Inexplicable declines in marine snake
populations across global hotspots have highlighted the lack of basic information on
this group and elevated multiple species as conservation priorities. With the increased
interest in research on marine snakes, we conducted a systematic survey of experts to
identify twenty key questions that can direct future research. These questions are framed
across a wide array of scientific fields to produce much-needed information relevant to
the conservation and management of marine snakes.
