| Summary: | This special issue examines the latest
discoveries from the interdisciplinary project,
“Regional Characterization of the Santos Basin –
(PCR-BS),” designed by the Brazilian oil company
Petrobras as part of its environmental program
initiatives. Future environmental management
practices are threatened by lack of comprehensive
oceanographic knowledge in offshore oil & gas
regions. This concern inspired this special issue.
The 13 articles here present data primarily
gathered during the 2019 campaigns. The study
collected physical, chemical, sedimentological,
and biological data from both benthic and pelagic
environments in the basin. The findings are
classified into four categories: methodological
aspects, hydrographic conditions, and pelagic
and benthic ecosystems. The scientific research
presented in this special issue represents an initial
effort towards reconciling sustainable oil and gas
exploration and production with the preservation
of regional biodiversity and environmental health.
