Itapoama River

The Itapoama River is a small river located in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. It flows through the municipality of Cabo de Santo Agostinho, emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. The river's name is of indigenous origin. The Itapoama River is significant for its role in the local ecosystem, supporting various species of flora and fauna in the surrounding mangrove and coastal areas. It is also a resource for local communities, although its use for potable water is limited due to salinity and pollution concerns. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the river's watershed and improve water quality.
