Mote Aquaculture Park is raising sturgeon for the production of caviar. With eggs imported from Eastern Europe, the park is engaging in a unique venture, bringing Russian caviar harvesting to the United States. The project manager is faced with evaluating a number of issues such as political-legal forces, local and international economics, production technologies, and socio-cultural forces. Further, industry factors also play a key role. As he considers Mote Aquacultural Park’s current situation, he knows that a thorough review of these environmental factors are necessary.
