How (Not) to Manage the Commons

**What causes the overshoot in fishbank simulation?**

**Overshoot and Collapse – real data shows how much fish has been captured, but lowered over the years. What caused the overshoot? = There are delays in info and reacting to when catching fish**

**overshoot in fishbank simulation: 1**

**Prevailing mental model: Unlimited abundance**

\
**The idea that fish is inexhaustible, but its not true**

\
\

**overshoot in fishbank simulation: 2**

**We do not have an idea on how fast fish reproduce**

**Regeneration rates uncertainty**

**overshoot in fishbank simulation: 3**

**Complex and dynamic interrelationships between social and ecological systems**

**overshoot in fishbank simulation: 4**

**4. Delays in spotting overshooting effects**

**overshoot in fishbank simulation: 5**

**Path dependency from fixed costs and past investment**

What was the tragedy of the Comms?

**The Tragedy of the Commons – propsed by hardin, a tragedy as were moved by self interest and deplete resources. The benfit to individual is higher than damage to other resrouces used by common**
