I oppose the proposal. Double crested cormorants are a native species and form an important part of the natural ecosystem. Creating an open season, allowing hunters to kill up to 50 per day and leave the meat to spoil has the potential to create significant negative impacts, including disruption of other species during nesting season. More research is required and other options must be considered.
