The “Tragedy of the Commons” is a straw man fallacy. The commons have historically always been collectively managed by the villagers grazing their animals on it. What you should be complaining about is the tragedy of an unmanaged (or in other words unregulated) commons.

That the oceans, a common resource, are not sufficiently regulated, suggests we need better global governance.

Reading ToTC itself you'll find that this is specifically what Hardin advocates for: Mutual Coercion Mutually Agreed Upon. Unmanaged commons lead to ruin. The question is how to suitably manage them.
