| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| Location | Anconcito, Salinas canton |
| Area | 4.2 ha |
| Rebuilt | 2014 |
| Managed by | Inmobiliar (the state property management service) |
| Fishers served | About 2,135 |
| Boats | 425 (Subsecretaría de Recursos Pesqueros); 333 registered in SIAP, 34 of them owned by women |
Facilities
Berths for fibreglass boats and mother ships (nodrizas), floating docks, a pre-processing plant with gutting tables, scales and a cold room, plus a food court and shops — which also make it a stop for visitors.
The fishery
Boats from Anconcito and nearby Santa Rosa fall into three groups: mother ships that tow groups of small boats for dorado, albacore and skipjack; fibreglass boats for dorado and bottom fish (congrio, pargo, cherna); and sardine seiners (chinchorreros). About 70% of Anconcito's fishers work independently or for traders who finance the trip. Theft of engines at sea is a problem the fishers have long reported.
