Muaná

Muaná is a municipality located in the state of Pará, Brazil. It is situated in the mesoregion of Marajó and the microregion of Furo de Breves. The municipality is part of the Marajó Archipelago, a vast delta system formed by the Amazon River. Its geography is characterized by low-lying islands, rivers, and channels, typical of the Amazon floodplain.

The economy of Muaná is primarily based on fishing and subsistence agriculture. Livestock raising, particularly cattle, also plays a significant role. The municipality faces challenges common to many Amazonian communities, including issues related to infrastructure, access to services, and environmental conservation. Its location within the Amazon basin means that ecological preservation is a key concern for the region.

Muaná's population is predominantly of mixed ethnicity, reflecting the historical settlement patterns of the Amazon. The cultural landscape is influenced by indigenous traditions and the Portuguese colonial past. Like other municipalities in the region, Muaná's development is intertwined with the broader dynamics of the Amazon rainforest and its resources.
