The cormorant populations…

The cormorant populations have gotten out of control in sections of southern Ontario. I'm from Hamilton and the birds have killed trees along the shoreline of the of the harbor, thousands of them nesting and the smell from them is disgusting. I'm sure that near by property owners must be complaining about them. I've hoped for years that something might be done and i'm finally glad to see theres interest in dealing with this issue. I've watched the large black swarms of them out on the lake diving for fish and thought how destructive they must be for fish populations, I'm shocked that something hasn't been done sooner.
