Pirajubaé Marine Extractive Reserve, Marine extractive reserve in Florianópolis, Brazil

The reserve spans 1,712 hectares of marine and mangrove ecosystems within Santa Catarina Island, featuring the Tavares River and diverse coastal habitats.

Established in 1992 through decree 533, this location became Brazil's first marine extractive reserve to protect traditional fishing practices and natural resources.

Local fishing families maintain traditional shellfish harvesting methods, particularly focusing on the collection of Anomalocardia brasiliana, known locally as chumbinho.

The reserve administration office is located at R. João Câncio Jacques, 1375, Costeira do Pirajubaé, Florianópolis, and can be reached at +55 48 3389-2746.

The Federal Institute of Santa Catarina developed an ecotourism program that trains guides to educate visitors about the reserve's environmental systems.
