Costa Rica Island
If this Canal was made, would Costa Rica and half of Panama become an Island?

 * If there are gates and the canal is not a sea-level all the way across, I don't see it as doing that. IIRC several islands with springs whereupon streams from the spring split one portion from the other are still one island. On the other hand, we have non-islands called island like Ile de France 132.205.44.5 (talk) 03:58, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Updates needed
The section about new plans for the canal needs to be updated and moderated. Such plans by the Liberalist governments of the 90's and early 2000's are hardly more than boasting. With the Sandinist government from 2006 such a plan is dead. The recognition of the Rio San Juan and Lago Nicaragua as important environmental assets and nature reserves makes plans for a new canal seems like a violation, both of international and national interests. You wil find that the link to the project's web site is long dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.212.31.153 (talk) 00:59, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
