¡°THE TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS¡±
FISHING ACTIVITY
This is a simulation. Your group will need the following materials:
1
16
4
4
plate
¡°Goldfish¡± crackers
straws (or one for each person)
cups (or one for each person)
Each member in your group will represent a country¡¯s fishing industry. The
plate will represent the ocean, the ¡°Goldfish ¡°will represent real fish, the straws
will represent fishing boats/poles, and the cups will represent your country¡¯s food
supply. Follow the procedure listed below, keeping track of each season¡¯s fish
catch on the data table:
1.
Begin by placing 16 Goldfish on the plate. When the signal is given,
each member of your group will have ten seconds to fish for your country.
You do this by sucking up through the straw and picking up ¡°Goldfish¡± and
placing them in the cup. NO HANDS (EXCEPT TO HOLD YOUR CUP),
AND ONLY ONE FISH AT A TIME! You are required to catch at least
one fish, or your country will suffer a catastrophic famine. It¡¯s all up to
you! At the end of the simulation, a prize will be given to the person in
your group who has caught the most fish, so do your best! Finally, keep
your fish in the cups and don¡¯t eat them until counted! No stealing or
¡°wars¡± either!
2.
At the end of ten seconds (the end of the first season), count how many fish
you caught and enter this on the data table. Now each fish that is left in the
ocean will be given a chance to reproduce. However, I won¡¯t tell you how
many can reproduce and at what rate until after the first season!

3.
Repeat steps #1 and #2 until you have fished for a total of 6 seasons, or until
you have no more Goldfish remaining.
