The Bacia Portuária, or Port Basin, is a significant estuarine complex within the metropolitan region of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. It is formed by the confluence of the Capibaribe and Beberibe rivers, creating a heavily urbanized and industrialized water body that serves as the port area for Recife. This estuarine system is characterized by its complete water mixing, resulting in a homogeneous environment influenced by both river discharge and tidal circulation. The basin is part of the larger Pina Estuarine Complex, which cuts across the entire metropolitan area.

Key areas are defined by the confluence of the Capibaribe and Beberibe rivers, which forms the port basin. The underwater structure is not detailed in terms of reefs or wrecks, but the main basin and the channels leading into it, such as the Tejipió river estuary, represent the primary fishing grounds. The edges of the shipping channels and areas where the river currents meet the tidal flow of the basin would create current seams and concentration points for fish.
