What is the Federal Maritime Terrestrial Zone?

The Federal Maritime-Terrestrial Zone is the twenty-meter-wide strip of dry land, passable and adjacent to the beach.

Now, in order to understand it better, we must know that the beach is the parts of land that, due to the effect of the tide, cover and reveal the water. (art. 7 ° fraction IV of the General Law of National Assets).

Likewise, when the coast lacks beaches and has rocky formations or cliffs, the Secretariat will determine the federal maritime-terrestrial zone within a 20-meter strip contiguous to the marine coastline, only when the inclination in said strip is 30 degrees or less in Continuous form. (Art. 4 of the Regulation for the use and exploitation … of the ZOFEMAT …).

The verification of the use, exploitation and exploitation of the ZOFEMAT, maritime beaches and land reclaimed from the sea, administered by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), is attribution of PROFEPA and is strategic due to the large extension of coastlines with which the country counts, as well as the wealth of its natural resources and the importance of the ecosystems it houses.

On the other hand, it is also important to know what land reclaimed from the sea is, since the verification of its use is also the responsibility of PROFEPA. Thus, it is the land area between the limit of the new Federal Maritime-Terrestrial Zone and the limit of the original Federal Maritime-Terrestrial Zone, in accordance with article 125 of the General Law of National Assets. ( NOM-146-SEMARNAT-2005 )
