Sorry, what I meant to write is more like 'really nail down the ownership rights, and have someone who's responsible'.

'Privatise' was just the short-hand I picked for that, but making a government responsible can also work, if you have one that functions well enough.

What doesn't work is having only nebulous responsibility at best, no clear rules apart from 'first-come-first-serve' / take as much as you can.
