Another study warns about the degradation of coastal archaeological heritage in Portugal, highlighting environmental risks and the need for government oversight given the vulnerability of these sites.
The entries section conceptualizes the East and West India Companies, detailing the role of European mercantile firms in modern colonization and trade. Simultaneously, it defines the "Blue Amazon" concept, emphasizing the political and strategic importance of the Brazilian continental shelf for national sovereignty and prosperity, moving beyond simple geographical boundaries.
Finally, the magazine concludes by presenting the chronology of activities for the EXEA Museum from August 2024 to November 2025.
