Information and Knowledge Management is used to improve the performance of companies' innovative activities. Before implementing a management process, organizations must analyze its aspects related to the dynamics of internal knowledge, whether tacit or explicit. Thus, information management for maturity monitoring constitutes a tool capable of enabling and implementing initiatives in a systematic and structured way. They allow us to continually improve the governance of innovation and projects. In this way, this article contributes to improving information management through a maturity level model and with proposals for improvement for acting and sustainability of the strategic governance of its intellectual assets. Interviews conducted based on the model proposed by Batista (2012) but applied in a pharmaceutical company. After identifying the scenario, the relationship between the critical success factors of managing its processes and knowledge innovation was evaluated. With the degree of maturity obtained,it was compared against the “ideal” degrees and a management plan for projects and processes proposed., A Gestão da Informação e do Conhecimento é usada para melhorar o desempenho das atividades inovativas das empresas. Antes de implementar um processo de gestão, as organizações devem analisar quanto aos seus aspectos relacionados à dinâmica do conhecimento interno, seja tácito ou explícito. Assim, o gerenciamento de informações para um monitoramento da maturidade, constitui uma ferramenta capaz de viabilizar e implementar iniciativas de forma sistemática e estruturada. Elas permitem melhorar continuamente a governabilidade da inovação e projetos. Desta forma, este artigo contribui na melhoriada gestão informacional por meio de um modelo degrau de maturidade e com proposições de melhoria para a tomada de ação e sustentabilidade da governança estratégica de seus ativos intelectuais. Foram realizadas entrevistas a partir do modelo proposto por Batista (2012), porém aplicada em uma empresa farmacêutica. Após identificação do cenário, avaliou-se o relacionamento entre os fatores críticos de sucesso da gestão de seus processos e inovação do conhecimento. Com o grau de maturidade obtido, comparou-sefrente os graus “ideais” e foi proposto um planode gestão dos projetos e processos.

[Introduction] The production of resting cysts is a key dispersal and survival strategy of many dinoflagellate species. However, little is known about the role of suspended cysts in the benthic nepheloid layer (BNL) in the initiation and decline of planktonic populations. [Method] In September 2019, sampling of the dinoflagellate cyst community at different water depths in the water column and in the bottom sediments, and studies of spatio-temporal changes in physical properties (temperature, salinity, density and suspended sediment concentration), were carried out along a land-sea transect off Figueira da Foz (NW Portugal) to investigate the dinoflagellate cyst distribution and the factors (physical and biological) affecting it. A clustering analysis was used to compare the BNL and sediment cyst records with the cyst rain recorded by a sediment trap at a fixed station. Furthermore, Lagrangian particle experiments enabled simulating cyst trajectories in the BNL 5 and 10 days before sampling and assessing cross-shore, vertical and alongshore transport within the studied region. [Results] A well-developed BNL was present during the survey, which covered a change from active (14th of September) to relaxed (19th of September) upwelling conditions. Organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts were dominant in all samples, although calcareous dinoflagellate cysts consistently occurred (at low abundances). High proportions of full cysts were observed in the BNL, of which a significant portion was viable as shown by excystment experiments. Moreover, BNL cyst records collected on the 19th of September along the land-sea transect were similar to the sediment trap cyst record but greatly differed from sediment cyst records. The heterotrophic small spiny brown cysts (SBC) and cysts of the autotrophic yessotoxin-producer Protoceratium reticulatum notably increased during the survey, in the BNL and in the water column above. [Discussion] The comparison of the BNL, surface sediment and sed
