In Saquarema, Brazil, local authorities are progressing with infrastructure projects, including drainage and paving works in the Barra Nova neighborhood. These urban interventions are being coordinated with archaeological preservation efforts. 

Technicians from the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (Iphan) have conducted technical visits to the Sambaqui da Pontinha site, as archaeological research is required before work can proceed in that area. Additionally, officials visited the Sambaqui da Beirada site, where the National Museum is preparing an exhibition that includes the installation of an educational tower for observing local species and the sky.
