Q. Which waterbody forms the coastline of the "Mosquito Coast"?
Answer: Caribbean Sea
Notes: The Caribbean Sea forms the coastline of the "Mosquito Coast". The Mosquito Coast, also known as the Miskito Coast and the Miskito Kingdom, historically included the kingdom's fluctuating area along the eastern coast of present-day Nicaragua and Honduras. It formed part of the Western Caribbean Zone. It was named after the local Miskito Amerindians and was long dominated by British interests. The Mosquito Coast was incorporated into Nicaragua in November 1894; however, in 1960, the northern part was granted to Honduras by the International Court of Justice.
