The Barra do Dande CAPA – Centro de Apoio à Pesca Artesanal (Artisanal Fishing Support Centre) was built in the first phase of the project and is located in an easily accessible area.
Currently a private entity holds the contract for the management and operation of the centre, which is equipped with 1 ice factory, 1 conservation chamber, fuel pumps, processing room. It employs five people directly.
It benefits from the electricity grid; however, it does not have piped water: the operation depends on supply by cisterns. The fuel pump and ice machine are in operation. No fish landing area has been built.
The members of the cooperatives have received training in fish processing, occupational health and safety and fishmeal production.
