The tragedy of the commons occurs when individuals, acting in their self-interest, overuse and deplete a shared resource, leading to its degradation and eventual collapse. This phenomenon typically arises in situations where resources are collectively owned or accessible, such as fisheries, forests, or grazing lands. Without effective management or regulation, the incentive to maximize short-term gains results in long-term negative consequences for the entire community. Ultimately, this leads to a conflict between individual interests and the collective good.
Tragedy of the commons was created in 1968.

The parable of the tragedy of the commons was popularized by ecologist Garrett Hardin in a 1968 essay. However, the concept itself has roots in economic theory and was discussed by earlier thinkers such as William Forster Lloyd.
The decline in world fisheries is a tragedy of the commons because the ocean is a shared resource, making it difficult to regulate and enforce sustainable fishing practices. With multiple parties exploiting the resource for their own gain without considering the long-term consequences, overfishing and depletion of fish populations occur, leading to a collapse of the ecosystem and loss of livelihoods for those dependent on fishing.
