The Delta do Parnaíba is the only delta in the Americas to flow into open ocean waters. It is more then 1.500 km long and encompasses 70 fluvial islands. The ecosystem is very fragile and highly succeptible to the presence of humans. The government of the (very poor) state of Piauí has spent millions to boost tourism in the area, which increasingly threat animal and plant life.
