The use of organic waste as raw material for the product manufacture is rare, and the amount of waste generated in agriculture, livestock, fishing is really huge. Therefore, it is necessary to create a strong link between communities with excess waste, research centers that analyze this matter and governmental institutions that promote the format ion of cooperatives or small businesses. Not only it would help communities to emerge economically, but it would also become a powerful tool for sustainable development of a country strategy. In this context, working between the National Nanotechnology Laboratory and the Program for Integrated Development of Rural Communities Coastal National University on a strategy of adaptability based on high technology and the self-organizing capacity of communities to cope to the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic threats experienced by marine coastal towns of the Gulf of Nicoya. It aims to transfer scientific and technological knowledge to individuals and local organizations to generate high-value raw as collagen, gelatin, lignin, cellulose, chitin and chitosan from marine and agricultural waste materials.
