National Border Council (CNF) president Radhames Batista is warning that crocodiles are walking around on dry land after the overflowing of the waters of the Enriquillo Lake. He said this has caused alarm and fear among residents of the community of Las Clavellinas in the province of Independencia. He said the water level rise is leading the reptiles to move to dry land with increasing frequency. Batista urged the Ministry of Environment to take measures to prevent any contact between the crocodiles and humans in order to avert a tragedy. He suggested that the Ministry's Hunting and Fishing Department could carry out the studies in order to protect the species and human life as reported in Hoy.
INTEC university specialists and foreign experts are currently engaged in a study to determine the reasons for the rising level of the waters of the lake.
Batista recommended introducing new fish species and crabs to make the most of the water level rise.
The Enriquillo Lake has the largest American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) population in the Caribbean islands.
