The Buraco CAPA – Centro de Apoio à Pesca Artesanal (Artisanal Fishing Support Centre) is one of the centres built in the first phase, with inauguration in 2012.
Managed by three cooperatives, the centre has an ice factory, 1 conservation chamber, solar panels, fuel pumps, generator, a processing room. The solar panels generate energy during the day and only when it is sunny, so the cold storage does not work as expected. There is no piped water, the centre relies on cistern supplies, and the fuel pump is not working. It directly employs 2 people.
Within the centre premises there is a health post to support the community.
