Brazil supports the only coral reefs in the South Atlantic, spread along 3,000 km of the coast, from 0°50’S to 18°00’S1. Coastal reefs that emerge on lower tides are an important feature of this region, inspiring city names like Recife (reef in Portuguese), providing coastal protection and most of the catches of the artisanal fisheries that dominate the region.
