Episode 88-Tragedy Of The Commons

from The Natural Curiosity Project · host Dr. Steven Shepard

For 400 years, the Georges Bank in the North Atlantic was sustainably fished by numerous countries, and the fishing stocks remained healthy. But in the mid-20th century, something happened, and fish stocks plummeted. What a story of human greed and hubris--and a great example of the phenomenon known as "The Tragedy of the Commons."
