Recife da Ponta Verde is a prominent coral reef system extending approximately 8 cables (nearly a nautical mile) southeast from Ponta Verde point into the Atlantic Ocean, located directly off the urban coast of Maceió in Alagoas, Brazil. This nearshore reef is a classic tropical Brazilian fishing ground, characterized by its shallow, rocky structure that breaks the ocean surface and creates heavy surf. The reef and its associated submerged rocks create a rich, structured habitat that supports a diverse marine ecosystem, making it a focal point for both recreational fishing and scientific study of coastal biodiversity.
