Temperate South America

Temperate South America is a biogeographic region of the Earth's seas, comprising the temperate and subtropical waters of South America, including both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the continent and adjacent islands.

It also includes the remote Gough Island and Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic Ocean.

Temperate Southern Africa is a marine realm, one of the great biogeographic divisions of the world's ocean basins.

On the Atlantic coast, Temperate South America transitions to the Tropical Atlantic marine realm near Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

The Temperate South America realm is divided into five marine provinces.
