The Barra do Rio Mamanguape conservation zone extends across 14,917 hectares, featuring extensive mangrove ecosystems and Atlantic Forest remnants along the Brazilian coast.
The federal government established this protected area through Decree 924 on September 10, 1993, transforming former Potiguara indigenous hunting territories into a conservation zone.

Visitors can access the area from Tuesday to Sunday between 8:00 and 17:00, with an entrance fee of 5 Brazilian reais for both national and international guests.
