Ground
(InfoWebPress – www.journalcr.com) The
fishermen organizations of Puntarenas
supported the creation of a Communal Marine
Area in Tarcoles of Garabito during an
encounter that brought together 30 sea
workers.
At the meeting, which took place in the
Nautical Fishing Center of Puntarenas, there
was representation for the areas of Lepanto,
Esparza and the Nicoya Gulf who learned of
the initiative to create the 19,600 hectare
marinas proposed by CoopeTarcoles R.L. and
the technical support of the Cooperativa
Autogestionaria de Servicios Profesionales
para la Solidaridad Social R.L. (CoopeSoliDar
R.L.).
Also, from these meetings of the cooperative
sector the plan has the support of the
Costarrican Institute of Fishing and
Aquaculture (INCOPESCA) and the Ministry of
the Environment, Energy and
Telecommunications (MINAET).
“This initiative is a fundamental step in
the recognition of our rights as small scale
fishermen, our food safety and the
strengthening of our cultural identity”, the
signed document expressed.
For the operation of the Communal Marine
area, the National Coastguard Service will
be incorporated to support the surveillance
and control of the area in front of the
Tarcoles coast from the mouth of the Jesus
Maria river up to the Punta of Coyol Beach.
