2025-08-02 (IPMA)
On 8 August 2025, IPMA researchers Alexandra Silva and Fátima Abrantes were honoured at the opening of the exhibition ‘The Sea as an Object: Women, Science and the Other Side of the Ocean’, which was part of the celebrations of the 88th anniversary of the founding of the Ílhavo Maritime Museum.
This exhibition brings together a set of fifteen (15) photographs by the Director of the São João da Madeira Arts Centre, Aníbal Lemos, which portray women who have developed their academic and professional lives around the study of the Portuguese ocean and sea. The studies of these scientists have proved promising in terms of knowledge of marine biodiversity and interpretation of the visible impact of climate change, and have contributed to changes in ocean protection and sustainability policy. Together, they have contributed, alongside the Portuguese State and other international organisations, namely the European Union and the UN, to promoting the ocean as a common good for all humanity.
The researchers belong to the IPMA's Directorate of Marine and Marine Resources Services, which, together with scientists from other fields of study whose work focuses on the sea, are affiliated with national and foreign universities whose mission is to study and safeguard maritime heritage.
The exhibition ‘The Sea as an Object: Women, Science and the Other Side of the Ocean’ is open to the public at the Ílhavo Maritime Museum until 31 December 2025
