Lagoa do Jequiá is a significant coastal lagoon system located in the municipality of Jequiá da Praia in the state of Alagoas, Brazil. It is the central feature of the federally managed Lagoa do Jequiá Marine Extractive Reserve, a protected area spanning 10,231 hectares that encompasses the lagoon, its associated mangroves, and a substantial adjacent section of the Atlantic Ocean. The lagoon is formed where the Jequiá River spreads out across the coastal plain before meeting the sea. This creates a rich, biodiverse environment that blends estuarine and marine habitats, supporting both traditional fishing communities and a wide array of marine life. The reserve is recognized for its scenic beauty, including waterfalls and birdlife, and functions under a sustainable-use model to protect both the ecosystem and the livelihoods of local residents.
