This trend is driven by the growing awareness of the environmental impact of overfishing and the desire to support responsible fishing practices. Additionally, there is a growing preference for locally sourced seafood, as consumers become more conscious of the benefits of consuming fresh, locally caught seafood. This shift towards sustainable and locally sourced seafood is also attributed to the rising trend of supporting small-scale fishermen and their communities.

This could also create opportunities for businesses to differentiate themselves by offering sustainable seafood options and cater to the growing demand for ethically sourced products.

Local special circumstances:
