True..but also underlies the reality that private enterprise can fix things as well.
Only if there are incentives. Note the Tuna markets in Japan. As prize bluefin tuna become more rare, the price goes up to obscene levels. Instead of trying to conserve some to guarentee a profitabe future for all fisherman, the incentive at this moment is to get the remaining few as quickly as possible for short term profit…even though that means you wipe them our forever.
