Furo do Capim is a significant tidal channel located within the complex estuarine island system of Abaetetuba, in the state of Pará, Brazil. This waterway is situated in the heart of the Amazon estuary, characterized by its intricate network of channels, furos, and islands. The area is a vital part of the regional landscape, heavily influenced by the powerful tidal movements of the Amazon River system. Its waters are brackish, mixing freshwater from the continent's vast river network with the Atlantic Ocean, creating a dynamic and productive ecosystem. The Furo do Capim has gained prominence not only as a fishing ground but also as a focal point for industrial port development, which has introduced significant changes and conflicts within the traditional socio-environmental fabric of the region.
