Costa Rica is a small country, with a territory of 51 000 km2 (Figure 1). Due to the small and open economy, export of products is a major component in many industries, including fisheries. Joaquín and Windevoxhel (1998) indicate that by the 1990s, most marine landings of the Central America region were contributed by Costa Rica (179 000 tonnes), accounting for US$616 million, close to those reported by Panama. The Central Valley, in the central region of the country, comprises 60% of Costa Rica’s population. It is in this area where major cities are located and thus where most of the jobs are generated.
