Navy and Army conduct operation to prevent boats from accessing beach in Guarujá, SP

The Brazilian Navy and Army launched an operation to prohibit unauthorized vessels from accessing Praia do Moisés in Guarujá during Carnival.

During Carnival from February 13 to 18, the Brazilian Navy (Marinha do Brasil) conducted a joint operation with the Brazilian Army (Exército Brasileiro) near Praia do Moisés in Guarujá, São Paulo. The primary objective was to prevent access to this beach, which is federal property, to unauthorized boats, including motorized vessels, canoes, kayaks, and boards. As a result, a total of 14 boats were issued notifications for unauthorized access during the operation.

Praia do Moisés is located in a military area under the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Army, specifically assigned to the Army's Air Defense Command. Due to its military significance, civilian access to the beach is restricted to maintain security and manage the use of the area. The operation was part of a broader effort to enforce regulations concerning military areas and ensure that these zones remain protected from unauthorized civilian activities.

The initiative highlights the Brazilian government's ongoing commitment to safeguarding military properties while balancing public interest during major holiday celebrations like Carnival. The enforcement actions taken by both the Navy and the Army aim to uphold the integrity of military operations and the safety of civilians by regulating access to such strategically important locations.
