Anhatomirim Environmental Protection Area, Environmental protection area in Governador Celso Ramos, Brazil.

This coastal marine reserve spans 4,436 hectares along Santa Catarina's coastline, featuring Atlantic Forest remnants, mangroves, and sandbanks.

The protection area, established in 1992, derives its name from Anhatomirim Island, where Portuguese settlers constructed a fortress in 1735.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices while operating within sustainable resource management guidelines established by the environmental protection framework.

Visitors can observe marine wildlife including dolphins, sea turtles, and migratory birds while following designated observation protocols.

The area serves as a critical habitat for a resident population of Tucuxi dolphins, which feed and reproduce in these protected waters.
