Telmex, the company owned by Mexican Carlos Slim Helú, will have a submarine cable that connects MazatlanSinaloa and San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, after the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) assured that the installation of an optimal fiber submarine cable is viable, which is why it conditionally authorized its construction. telecommunications company.
“This General Directorate of Environmental Impact and Risk (DGIRA) In the exercise of its powers, it determines that the Submarine Cable Telecommunications System of Optical fiber of Mazatlan to San Jose del Cabo It is ruled (that) it is environmentally viable, and therefore it has been decided to authorize it in a conditional manner,” Semarnat revealed.
He pointed out that the installation of an optical transmission system through a fiber optic cable with a capacity of 22 wires would begin at the Telmex station located in San José del Cabo, crossing the deep waters of the Gulf of California until reaching Mazatlán, Sinaloa.
“The authorization regarding environmental impact will be valid for 6 months to carry out site preparation and construction activities,” the agency stated.
He added that the permit has a duration of 25 years for operation and maintenance, so this period is conditional on the construction of the project having been carried out.
According to Forbes Mexicothe total investment for the submarine fiber optic cable telecommunications system is 22 million 585 thousand dollars.
To begin the construction of the project, Slim’s company must present studies of bathymetry, sea floor, lithology of the shallow seabed, seismology and uses of the seabed in priority protected natural areas.
In addition to monitoring in the marine priority protected natural areas at various depths along the cable lay, including sampling sites in the project areas that affect Priority Marine Regions, andn the coastal and oceanic zone.
Semarnat pointed out that monitoring must include the delimitation of the coastline, both San Jose del Cabo like Mazatlanthe direction and speed of marine currents, depth, pH, temperature gradients, salinity and density in the water column, depth of the photic zone, turbidity.
The study of the submarine cable Telmex It must also contain dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, nutrients (nitrites, nitrates, silicates, phosphates and ammonium), heavy metals (such as lead, chromium, nickel), concentration of organic matter, total suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand, and chlorophyll.
