International audience. Marine snakes represent the most speciose group of marine reptiles and are a significantcomponent of reef and coastal ecosystems in tropical oceans. Research on this grouphas historically been challenging due to the difficulty in capturing, handling, and keepingthese animals for field- and lab-based research. Inexplicable declines in marine snakepopulations across global hotspots have highlighted the lack of basic information onthis group and elevated multiple species as conservation priorities. With the increasedinterest in research on marine snakes, we conducted a systematic survey of experts toidentify twenty key questions that can direct future research. These questions are framedacross a wide array of scientific fields to produce much-needed information relevant tothe conservation and management of marine snakes.
