Mangueira Lake

Lagoa Mangueira is a long freshwater lagoon on the southern Brazilian coastal plain, between the Atlantic and Lagoa Mirim. It forms part of the Taim wetland system, with marshes and other lagoons to the north. Seasonal flows connect its waters with the Taim marsh and Lagoa Mirim. Sand barriers, shallow water and flooded vegetation create a landscape rich in waterbirds and other wildlife.
