National optical cables require special protection

Home / National optical cables require special protection

The Undersea Cable Protection Act of 2025 streamlines the installation and operation of undersea fiber optic cables in national marine sanctuaries. It prevents the Secretary of Commerce from imposing duplicative permitting requirements if federal or state authorization is already. While this method is more geared towards environmental data collection, it has potential applications for cable. It incorporates and completes the essential provisions of the Paris Convention of 1884 on the protection of submarine cables and the Geneva Convention of 1958 on the Law of the Sea.
