The Jureia-Itatins Mosaic (Portuguese: Mosaico Jureia–Itatins) is a protected area mosaic in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.It was created in 2006, suspended in 2009 and recreated in 2013. It includes strictly protected and sustainable use conservation units in a coastal area of well-preserved Atlantic Forest.
The Jureia-Itatins Mosaic covers parts of the municipalities of Iguape, Itariri, Miracatu and Peruíbe in the state of São Paulo.When first created in 2006 it covered .After being recreated in 2013 it covered .The Jureia-Itatins area is environmentally important since it holds one of the best preserved remnants of Atlantic Forest.It includes an extensive fluvial marine plain through which the Una do Prelado River flows, with rich flora and fauna.
The Jureia-Itatins Mosaic of conservation units was created by law 12.406 of 12 December 2006.It included the Jureia-Itatins Ecological Station and the newly created Itinguçu and Prelado state parks, Despraiado and Barra do Una sustainable development reserves and the Ilhas do Abrigo e Guararitama Wildlife Refuge.The state parks and sustainable development reserves were carved out of the ecological station, and an area of banana plantations in the municipality of Miracatu, north of the station, was also dropped from the station.
