The Araí-Peroba Marine Extractive Reserve is in the municipality of Augusto Corrêa, Pará.

Its basic objectives are to protect the livelihoods and culture of these people and to ensure sustainable use of natural resources.

[6] The reserve was recognised by the Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária (INCRA: National Institute for Colonisation and Agrarian Reform) on 29 November 2005 as meeting the needs of 900 families of small rural producers, who would qualify for PRONAF support.

[4] The expansion was authorised by president Dilma Rousseff thirteen days before the 2014 presidential elections.

On the same day she created the Mocapajuba, Mestre Lucindo and Cuinarana marine extractive reserves, also in Pará.
