Spanish term

orillador

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
This term occurs in a report in a company that wants to improve relationships with the local community along the coastline where it has an industrial facility.

The main focus of this improvement in relations will be on "los pescadores y orilladores". I am not certain, but from other context I get the impression that these "orilladores" might be people who collect shellfish and edible seaweed along the shoreline, for sale in markets. I may be wrong on that, as there isn't much to go on.
