Double-crested cormorants are multiplying in an environmentally damaging rate, as I feel they do not have natural predatory enemies. Double-crested cormorants are eating the biodiversity from our Ontario waters by eating copious amounts of fish per bird per day. Their excrement is killing the habitat that they reside in. For an example look at the islands that are denuded of plant life just off the shore of Presqu'ile Provincial Park. I totally agree with the listing of double-crested cormorants for a hunting season. Please change the regulations to establish a hunting season for double-crested cormorants to protect our fish, wild places, and the wildlife that live in these wild-places. We need to reduce the populations of double-crested cormorants to protect the other birds, the fish and other wildlife that are trying to co-exist in the wild-places double-crested cormorants are in.
