Expert input request: Brazilian jurisdictional waters and Continental shelf of Brazil

I've just translated these two articles I originally wrote for the Lusophone wiki, where I intend to promote the former to FA status in the future. Both articles are large and cover multiple oceanographic topics. As I'm an amateur on said topics, I'd like a review of any missing key facts, misused terms and other mistakes I may have made. There's a third article I've made along with those two, Brazilian Blue Amazon, but it's mostly about geopolitics and I have not included it in this project's scope. Many thanks, Serraria (talk) 16:55, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
