Saco do Pinho is a coastal lagoon system situated on Ilha do Governador within the expansive Guanabara Bay complex near Rio de Janeiro. This area historically comprised three distinct lagoon systems, forming a mosaic of brackish water habitats within a heavily urbanized region. As part of the greater bay, it represents a remnant of the once-extensive coastal wetlands that characterized this coastline, offering a unique inshore fishing environment influenced by tidal exchange and urban runoff.
