59, establishes it permanently and on behalf of the State, as the official authority in geodetic matters and the spatial representation of the geography of the Republic, its authority extending to activities of any nature originating from the tasks entrusted to it.

59, Article 62 of the Regulation to Law No. 6043 recognizes the competence of the National Geographic Institute for the delimitation of the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone, and its officialization through publication in the Official Gazette La Gaceta, while Article 63 of the same Regulation states that "The National Geographic Institute shall publish a notice in the Official Gazette for each portion of the maritime-terrestrial zone in which it has demarcated the public zone."

36642-MP-MOPTMINAET, "Regulation of Specifications for the Delimitation of the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone," it is established, according to Article 18°, that for the delimitation of the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone, the IGN may use two execution methodologies, as indicated in Articles 19 and 20, corresponding to the delimitation of the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone through the placement of boundary markers (mojones) and/or through digital georeferenced delimitation, in order to streamline delimitations and provide greater technical certainty to interested parties.

33797-MJ-MOPT, which, among other aspects, designates the National Geodetic Horizontal Reference Network CR05, and its associated cartographic projection CRTM05, as the official system to which the coordinates of all geodetic, cartographic, and cadastral work executed in our country must be referenced, specifically stating in Article 11 that: "The National Geodetic Horizontal Reference Network CR05 and the CRTM05 cartographic projection system shall constitute the sole official coordinate system for the Republic of Costa Rica, to which all cartographic and geodetic surveys and activities carried out in the National Territory by any public agency, person, or private entity, national or foreign, must be referenced."; while Article 7 indicates that "As cartographic data is produced in the new CRTM05 cartographic projection system, the National Geographic Institute shall publish, through appropriate means, that information which has been officialized."

40962-MJP "Update of the Official Horizontal Geodetic Reference System for Costa Rica" declares that: "The official horizontal geodetic reference system for Costa Rica, named CR05, and its materialization through the National Geodetic Network, changes its acronym to CRSIRGAS, as the official horizontal reference system for the Republic of Costa Rica...", while "The CRTM05 cartographic projection system shall remain the official one for the cartographic representation of the continental national territory." For its part, Article 12 of the cited decree reinforces the application of the CRTM05 cartographic projection as the official national coordinate system to which they must be referenced in the continental territory of our country, by stating that "...all cartographic and geodetic surveys and activities carried out in the national territory by any public agency, person, or private entity, national or foreign, that undertake or contract geodetic and cartographic work, thereby contributing to avoiding public expenditure and obtaining, in turn, reliable, uniform, and comparable geographic information, which is of general utility and supports decision-making at different levels of the State."

7841-P "Regulation to Law No. 6043 on the Maritime Terrestrial Zone," b) Executive Decree No. 33797-MJ-MOPT "Declares CR05 and its associated cartographic projection, CRTM05, as the official horizontal datum for Costa Rica," c) Executive Decree No. 40962-MJP "Update of the Official Horizontal Geodetic Reference System for Costa Rica"; and d) Executive Decree No. 36642-MP-MOPT-MINAET "Regulation of Specifications for the Delimitation of the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone." 10.—That Article 16° of the Forestry Law (Ley Forestal), Law No. 7575 of February 13, 1996, establishes that the Ministry of Environment and Energy shall delimit on the ground the boundaries of the areas that make up the Natural Heritage of the State (Patrimonio Natural del Estado).

11.—The National Geographic Institute, together with the Tempisque Conservation Area (Área de Conservación Tempisque), used the "Digital Georeferenced Delimitation" methodology to delimit the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone in a mangrove sector in Bahía Guabos, located in district 03 Sierpe, canton 05 Osa, province 06 Puntarenas, this pursuant to proceedings carried out by Mrs. Sonia Carvajal González, ID 5-0252-0351, before the National Geographic Institute.

12.—That the delimitation performed has internal technical endorsement according to official communication DIG-TOT-0241-2019 of July 09, 2019, issued by the Official Boundaries Subprocess of the Topographic and Territory Observation Department of the National Geographic Institute.

13.—That the delimitation performed was accompanied by the Osa Conservation Area (Área de Conservación Osa), of the System of Conservation Areas (Sistema de Áreas de Conservación), for the demarcation of the public zone in the mangrove ecosystem sector, according to official communication SINACACOSA- D-077-2019, dated March 01, 2019.

14.—That Article 140 of Law No. 6227, the General Public Administration Act, states that "the administrative act shall produce its effect after being communicated to the administered party, except if it only grants rights, in which case it shall produce them from the moment it is adopted," a provision that must necessarily be related to numeral 204) of the same normative body, which defines the suitable instrument for communicating acts of a generic nature by stating: "General acts shall be communicated by publication, and specific acts by notification." COMMUNICATES:

First.—That on November 05 to 14, 2018, and December 04 and 05, 2018, the digital georeferenced delimitation and establishment of boundary markers (mojones) to the national coordinate system were carried out to delimit the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone in a mangrove sector in Bahía Guabos; located in district 03 Sierpe, canton 05 Osa; province 06 Puntarenas. Second.—The work for determining the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone was carried out on December 04 and 05, 2018, accompanied by the Osa Conservation Area; this delimitation corresponds to a mangrove sector whose coordinates of georeferenced surveyed points (vertices) (GU), are indicated below, in the official cartographic projection system of Costa Rica, CRTM05, and on the Map MBCR- 1/50,000 Rincón, namely:

Third.—The official technical data of the delimitation of the mangrove sector of the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone of Bahía Guabos have been recorded in the Digital Georeferenced Geodatabase of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone (ZMT) of the IGN.
