From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Imbituba is a port and coastal town in the southern Brazil state of Santa Catarina. It has a population of around 35,000. Up until the middle of the twentieth century Imbituba was an important home of Brazilian whalers.

Imbituba has stocks in Brazil market Bovespa. The codes of the stocks are imbi4 and imbi3. The price of the stock is currently 0,41 cents reais.

The administration of the port changed in 2005 and it has been receiving a lot of investment. In the future the brasilian government wishes to invest a lot of money to transform the port into one of the most important ports in Brazil, such as the Santos port.

The Brazilian Government is investing in the infrastructure near the port, such as roads, railroads and much more. The Santa catarina investments puts the port as firt priority of the city.

This, sadly has a bad influence in the native environment of the city. The beaches of Imbituba, such as Praia Do Rosa and Ibiraquera, are of the most beautiful and cleanest in the world.

Imbituba is now one of the homes for WCT world wide surfing championships, others being in places like Australia and Africa.
