The Fish Lagoon - technically a lagoon, which has a communication channel with the sea during most of the year - is home to large concentrations of migratory birds from Northern Hemisphere (summer) and South (in winter), among them capororocas (coscoroba coscoroba), flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber), cormorants, kingfishers, red-breasted, gulls, Talhami, Pirus, Pirus, terns, sandpipers and the swan-necked black (Cygnus melanocoryphus). Among the mammals there are graxains, armadillos, small rodents, and between July and October, the whales migrate to Santa Catarina. Brought by ocean currents is not rare to find in the sand sea turtles, penguins and even sea lions, according to the season. Marshes and dunes complete the attractions of the unit.
The park has no infrastructure for visitation and camping is prohibited in its area. Very interesting is the tour by the sea shore of the lagoon, near the park, where one can find traces of several shipwrecks and lighthouses that record the great danger for the sailors in this part of Rio Grande do Sul.
