Canal da Passagem is a significant estuarine channel located within the Greater Vitória metropolitan area in Espírito Santo, Brazil. It forms a crucial part of the Santa Maria da Vitória River estuary system, connecting the interior bay waters with the open ocean. The channel is characterized by extensive shallow waters and experiences significant tidal influence, where freshwater from various tributaries mixes with incoming oceanic saltwater. This dynamic brackish environment, situated adjacent to urban and industrial zones, supports a diverse aquatic ecosystem and offers angling opportunities within a complex coastal landscape.
