Costa dos Corais Environmental Protection Area, Marine conservation area in Pernambuco and Alagoas, Brazil.
The protected area spans 404,268 hectares along the northeastern Brazilian coast, featuring extensive coral reefs, mangroves, and Atlantic Forest fragments.
The Brazilian federal government established this marine protected zone in 1997 to safeguard coral reefs and maintain sustainable fishing practices.
Local communities within the protected area maintain traditional fishing methods while participating in environmental education programs about marine conservation.
Visitors can explore natural pools during specific tide windows, with activities including snorkeling, diving, and guided tours along the Tatuamunha River.
Research conducted in the area documented unprecedented coral mortality affecting endemic species Millepora braziliensis and Mussismilia harttii during thermal stress events.
