Bacia do Pina is a significant estuarine bay system located within the metropolitan port area of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. This tropical estuary is formed by the confluence of several rivers, including the Capibaribe, Tejipió, and Jordão, before opening into the Atlantic Ocean. The basin is characterized by its complex mix of freshwater inflow and marine tidal influence, creating a dynamic and highly productive environment. The area is urbanized, situated around the Port of Recife, and is known for its ecological importance despite facing substantial environmental pressures. The waters are typically turbid and nutrient-rich, supporting a diverse base of marine life that forms the foundation for a local fishery.

Key fishing locations are associated with structural features and confluence zones. The areas near the river mouths where the Capibaribe, Tejipió, and Jordão enter the main basin create current seams and nutrient mixing that attract bait and predators. The edges of the shipping channels within the Port of Recife basin offer deeper water and structure. The transition zone near the estuary's mouth at Praia do Pina, where estuarine waters meet the ocean, is a prime area for targeting migratory species moving in and out with the tides.
