Which of the following scenarios best explains the concept of the tragedy of the commons?

Fish are shared resources; as industry competes for fish, the resources are depleted.

A collapse of the fishing industry leads to a loss of fishing-related jobs.

A decline in fish populations cause declines in fish predators, affecting the entire food chain.
