Professional boat repairs and services Opportunity: In Tampa, it is a known problem that no one has a reliable boat repair professional.   1.Who: The who is the boat owners in Tampa. 2.What: The what is the lack of professional boat mechanics. 3.Why: The why is People do not have the opportunity to pay more for legitimate and professional work on their boats because these mechanics do not exist.

Economic Trend 1: People not cooking at home anymore Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/03/05/the-slow-death-of-the-home-cooked-meal/?utm_term=.344eba745f45 Summary: I learned this from my mother originally then decided to look it up.

Article 1: COYOTES ARE NOT JUST PASSING THROUGH The Story: Angel, a local cattle farmer in Tampa, was drinking her coffee when she saw at least three animals that resembled large dogs. At a closer look they were three well-fed coyotes. They were stalking the baby calves in the field amongst the morning fog. She then got in her car and starting honking in an attempt to scare them away, but the coyotes did not flinch. Although they did not attack in front of her eyes, I am sure they would have if she didn’t get in her car! The Problem: Coyotes have become a huge problem in the suburbs of Tampa. They are preying on the offspring of cattle early in the mornings and late in the afternoons when the farmers are not out on the fields. Leading to a loss of a cow, this problem can cause a 5,000$ loss for these farmers, at least! Who: Although Angela is the only farmer described in this story as having a problem losing her calves to the coyotes, she is just one of many whom has suf...
