Sea Snake

About

How sea snake lives

Sea snakes are marine reptiles that hunt fish in warm coastal waters, reefs, and lagoons. Many sea snakes have paddle-like tails that help them swim efficiently. Ocean animals navigate three-dimensional space, pressure, and constantly shifting currents.

Conservation

Status and habitat pressure

Stable populations still depend on habitat quality, food availability, and low human pressure. Protecting sea snake also depends on keeping ocean, coral reef habitats healthy and connected.

Common species still depend on habitat quality, clean water, food webs, and low disturbance.
