On behalf of our club, I want to state that we strongly oppose the proposal to hunt cormorants as a game bird. The proposal is cruel, unnecessary, and not based on any rational research studies. It appears to be an attempt to appease hunters and anglers who wrongly blame cormorants for eating all the fish and fouling islands.
Cormorants are native to the Great Lakes, and are rebounding after a time of population crash due to pesticide use. They eat mainly invasive species such as alewives and do not affect the sport fishing species. Their nesting sites are few and don't pose any danger to island trees in general.
We ask that this proposal be removed from any further consideration of passing it. It is not necessary.
