Similar term(s): CPR.
Common pool resources (CPR) are characterised by the difficulty of excluding actors from using them and the fact that the use by one individual or group means that less is available for use by others. (The latter point distinguishes CPR from pure public goods which exhibit both non excludability and non rivalry in consumption).
CPRs include some fisheries, irrigation systems and grazing areas.
