Santa Isabel Biological Reserve, Marine turtle conservation area in Pacatuba, Brazil.

The reserve extends over 5,547 hectares along the Sergipe coast, featuring sandbanks, Atlantic Forest remnants, mangroves, lagoons, and coastal vegetation.

Established in October 1988, this biological reserve became a primary nesting site for olive ridley sea turtles and hawksbill turtles in Brazilian territory.

The Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation manages research activities and environmental protection programs throughout the protected area.

Access to the reserve requires special authorization, as the area maintains strict protection status to safeguard local ecosystems and marine species.

The reserve contains specific zones for sea turtle nesting, making it the largest reproductive site for Lepidochelys olivacea in Brazil.
