Prado

Prado is a coastal municipality in Bahia along Brazil's Atlantic shoreline with beaches and natural environments. The town sits on low-lying terrain and features a mix of coastal areas and protected natural spaces.

The area developed from an early settlement into an independent municipality on Brazil's coast. This growth is tied to the management and protection of the region's marine resources.

The people here have deep ties to fishing and ocean conservation that shape daily routines and community identity. You can see this connection reflected in how locals interact with the shoreline and waterways.

Visitors can explore multiple protected natural areas here, including a large national park and a marine reserve. It helps to ask locally about guides and options to access these areas comfortably.

The area contains a large marine reserve specifically designed for sustainable fishing, managed by local fishing communities themselves. This approach shows how resource protection and traditional livelihoods can work together.
