The sea snake is a marine-adapted serpent belonging to the family of Hydrophi-idae. There are many varieties of sea snakes with different colors, shapes, and sizes. They are well adapted for the marine environment and have a flat tail and a salt gland. Sea snakes are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical waters along the coasts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They are not found in the Atlantic Ocean. 

Fig. 4-6. Distribution with latitude of formaldehyde over the Atlantic Ocean vertical bars indicate two-sigma variances. [Adapted from Lowe and Schmidt (1983).] The dashed curve shows the results of two-dimensional model calculations (Derwent, 1982).

Fig. 4-7. Latitudinal distribution of carbon monoxide over the Atlantic Ocean. Open circles in the upper troposphere, from aircraft measurements. Filled circles at sea level, from measurements onboard of ships. Solid curve air mass-weighted average CO mixing ratio. [Adapted from Seiler and Schmidt (1974a).]...
