Well, you won't have to worry about people dragging anchor across the cable=
. Other than earthquake or volcanic eruption, I can't imagine what would d=
amage a cable that time of year in that location.
It would be interesting if they put some sensors on those cables to monitor=
ocean salinity and temperature at those depths, too.
