Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Atlantic Ocean near Praia do Futuro, a popular beach in Fortaleza. The coastal waters support diverse marine life, including fish, crustaceans, and sea turtles, and are part of a larger ecosystem influenced by the South Equatorial Current. The region's semi-arid climate means freshwater resources are limited, making the protection of coastal water quality critical for both ecological health and human use.
