I'm 63. Born and raised in Port Elgin Ontario. We saw cormorants around years ago but then they "took off". Not sure if it was when the alewive population exploded but it likely was during that time period.

In our area I saw Chantry Island go from being a beautiful forested bird sanctuary to becoming a cormorant devastated septic tank. Back then I thought it was terrible. Then I've watched how they not only decimate the land but totally destroy any fish population. My God. Enough is enough. Are they out of control? Should their numbers be controlled? Yes.

Should there be a bag limit? No.

Open season? Yes.

Continual population control? Yes... remove nests, oil eggs.
