President Abelardo de la Espriella announced that he will sign a decree on November 30th to officially delimit the territory of the Colombian reef surrounding San Andrés. This decree will utilize official coordinates to establish the baseline for the maritime boundaries of San Andrés, providing a clear geographical definition of the area. The move is intended to clarify Colombia’s rights and responsibilities regarding the ecologically sensitive reef system. Details of the specific coordinates will be released with the official publication of the decree. This action aims to address longstanding issues concerning the definition and protection of the area. The government views this as an important step in asserting sovereignty and ensuring the sustainable management of the marine environment around San Andrés. This decree should provide legal certainty for both domestic and international stakeholders interested in the region.
