Lisbon Urban Sea

Overview

Runtime: 41:57
Country: Portugal
Language: Portuguese
Category: 2019 | Short Documentaries/TV Documentaries (2019)

MAR URBANO LISBOA is an environmental documentary about the unique Tagus Estuary, which sparks a debate on the water quality, the marine biodiversity, the future of the city and that of its metropolitan area. The city and its surroundings offer privileged work and living places as well as leisure spots. These areas are gateways to sea tourism, cruise ships, sailing and fishing boats.
MAR URBANO LISBOA also touches the relationship between city dwellers and tourists with the Tagus, the remnants of traditional fisheries and recreational fishing, the manufacturing of traditional boats – that stands up to all the changes – a reflection which doesn’t end at the waterfront area which, little by little was conquered by the locals, but instead enters and dives into the seabed of the Tagus Estuary and wanders by the seashore of that Lisbon sea, which lengthens from the Zona Oriental, from Margem Sul to Linha do Estoril.
MAR URBANO LISBOA is a documentary which stands up for the river Tagus, which testifies the marine ecosystems’ resilience, the Tagus’ waters quality evolution and that of the different species of typical Estuary marine life, equally influenced by climate changes.
