Interestingly, Monterey Bay Aquarium is located on Cannery Row (see their address, it's right at the end of the street). Cannery Row used to be the site of extremely unsustainable sardine fishing. They used to pump sardines out of the ocean with essentially fire hoses. Until one year there just weren't any. People would ask "where did all the sardines go?" and the answer was "they went into cans". It took over 50 years for the fish population to recover but the fish canning industry went extinct there first.
