The Costa dos Corais Marine Protected Area is located along the northeastern coast of Brazil, primarily in the states of Alagoas and Pernambuco. Established in 2000, it covers approximately 1,100 square kilometers and aims to conserve the region's rich biodiversity, including coral reefs, mangroves, and various marine species. This protected area is home to numerous ecosystems that support both marine life and local communities. It plays a crucial role in preserving habitats for endangered species, such as the hawksbill turtle, while promoting sustainable fishing practices and ecotourism to benefit the local economy.
