The CAPA – Centro de Apoio à Pesca Artesanal (Artisanal Fishing Support Centre) of Lucira was built in 2011 by another project. Later, under the FSSP – Fisheries Sector Support Project, the centre underwent a rehabilitation process at the level of the structure (a toilet was also built in the community).
This CAPA is managed by the company Arco-íris. The centre is exclusively dedicated to semi-industrial fishing, and offers a variety of services, such as rental of the jetty bridge for landing, as well as repair of fishing nets, or sale of water. It has piped water, yet no access to electricity.
Currently cooperatives do not have access to the centre.
