The European Copernicus satellites captured a new image of Portugal showing Setúbal and the Sado estuary seen from Space. The image allows observation of the relationship between the city and the coastal zone of this region.
The represented area includes the territory where the Sado estuary is located, a natural zone of great ecological importance that borders the city of Setúbal. The spatial perspective provided by the satellites allows a broad view of this wetland area and its connection to the urban fabric.
According to the information provided, the territory in question faces flood risks. This threat has led to the implementation of measures to control excess water in the region, seeking to protect both the population and local infrastructure.
This is not the first time that Copernicus satellites have highlighted Portuguese territory. The European Earth observation program has been capturing images of various areas of Portugal, showing landscapes and regions of the country from a unique perspective seen from Space.
