While I agree with the conclusion presented that there are too many cormorants I do have concerns with the 50 bird limit and people leaving them floating dead in the water like some fishermen do with Sheepshead that float into our public beaches and give fishing a bad name, the same will be true for a quantity of birds floating into public beaches during the summer when the season is proposed. There should be some way of disposing of them or making sure they are not left floating on the surface of our waterways. Perhaps some type of trading birds for a hat like the hats for hides program but not sure how many people would wear the hat or take the time to take 50 dead birds for a car ride to a depot. You are on the right track but more definition needs to be done on the location and not to give hunters a bad name.
