|
The
resource
The fish could become diseased, be overfished, subject
to poaching; climate changes and a decline in nutrients
in the water could lead to fewer and smaller fish, etc. |
|
Technological
New technology is expensive and rapidly changing, both
for catching and processing fish. |
|
Economic
Quota might be reduced, the bank might increase its interest
rates, markets may change, overheads, such as transport,
might go up, etc. |
|
Cultural
People in the nearby settlement might object to the smell
of the fish processing factory. There might be Maori land
or sea issues. |
|
Political
The Government might decide to lower the quota of the
fish stock being caught and processed; or politicians
may ignore advice to reduce quotas, thus allowing the
resource to be depleted, to the peril of industry and
other user groups; pressure from the environmental lobby
could restrict opportunities. |
|
Location
The fish factory might be too far from the nearest international
wharf or airport. |
