The economies of states can depend on a number of different things. Employment, shopping, schools, taxes, population- just some of the factors of a good or bad economy. An economy can crash just because of one thing that causes a chain reaction, and sometimes it may be the silliest little thing that you probably thought would never have an effect on anything. Florida wouldn’t be half of what it is today if it wasn’t for the fisheries and hatcheries in the state. The fisheries and hatcheries contribute greatly to the lifestyle and economy of Florida. If it wasn’t for these facilities, so many things would be effected and at a loss. These million dollar farming and fishing industries would cause so many people to lose their jobs, and then those people would stop spending as much money on things they buy. Once they stop spending as much, someone else is automatically losing as well, thus creating a cycle of losses. People don’t think things such as fisheries and hatcheries in Florida are even a big deal at all. But truth is, every little thing counts. Maybe without these industries, your education wouldn’t be free. Or your taxes would be higher. Did you ever think of these consequences?
