I have lived and boated on Lake Erie for almost 70 years now. When I was a youngster we never saw Cormorants on the lake. In the last 15 years or so they have become quite common and obviously they being fish consumers, they have had a major impact on the fisheries in the lake. I do think that their overabundance has had an impact.
I am all in favour of this proposal but why limit it to 50 birds which can go to spoil (who wants to eat a fish eating bird) make it unlimited to those that feel the need to make the effort to rid the lakes of this pest....is like shooting crows or starlings
