Portugal has an intimate relationship with the sea that dates back to the great navigations and the benefits they brought to the Lusitanian country, up to our times, with whaling and cod and tuna fishing.

Edited by CTT Correios de Portugal, with accessible language without ceasing to be a ""repository of science and history useful for any researcher"" (CTT, 2022), the work of Dr. Álvaro Garrido provides descriptions of the toils associated with the Portuguese sea.

""Aimed at a vast universe of readers and written in Portuguese and English, this Book inscribes in the public space memories of human labor associated with the great toils of the sea in its connection with its coastal territories: Azores (fishing/whaling); ports of the western Portuguese coast (cod fishing); beaches of the Sotavento algarvio (tuna)."" Universidade de Coimbra (2022)

According to CTT, the work has a limited print run of 4000 copies, ""containing the philatelic issue «Faina Épicas», from 2020, worth €5.57 (3 stamps and 1 block)"".
