Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The collapse of the bluefin tuna population due to overfishing represents a tragedy of the commons, which refers to a situation where individuals or groups exploit a shared resource to the point where it becomes depleted or damaged.

The concept of a tragedy of the commons is often invoked in discussions of environmental degradation and resource management.
