Carijós Ecological Station, Ecological station in Florianópolis, Brazil.
The Carijós Ecological Station spans 759 hectares across two mangrove areas, Ratones and Saco Grande, connected by routes SC-402 and SC-401.
The Brazilian government established this protected coastal marine area in July 1987 to preserve the mangrove ecosystem on Santa Catarina Island.
The station bears the name of the Guarani indigenous people who inhabited the Santa Catarina coast before European colonization.
The ecological station lies 20 kilometers from downtown Florianópolis and permits visits exclusively for environmental education purposes.
Research conducted in 2013 initiated the first systematic study of diseases and parasites affecting the local bird population.
