Amazonian Navy

The Amazonian Navy refers to the maritime and riverine military forces of countries like Brazil within the Amazon Basin. It specializes in patrolling vast river systems, lakes, and coastal areas to ensure sovereignty, prevent illegal activities such as smuggling or illegal fishing, and support navigation and rescue operations. Unlike traditional navies that operate primarily on open seas, the Amazonian Navy’s focus is on inland waterways and freshwater environments, requiring specialized vessels and skills suited to the unique demands of the Amazon’s complex river network.
