contents In this paper, we study the nonlinear modulational instability of two-dimensional hydroelastic Stokes waves in infinite depth. We first justify a focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) approximation result for 2D deep hydroelastic wave system in the spirit of Ifrim-Tataru [22]. Then we exploit the instability mechanism of the cubic NLS to prove that the Stokes waves are nonlinearly unstable under long-wave perturbations.
