I am 65 years old. It's an amazement to me how much expectations have changed, just in my lifetime. When I was young, the oceans were considered limitless. I had never heard the concept of over-fishing. Then by the 60s I think we thought we'd be well on the way to multi-planetary colonization by now, relieving the stress on this planet. But here we are.

They are aware of it, in particular, because herring roe is considered a delicacy.
