The proposal is to establish a 9-month hunting season based on perceptions by one of the parties with a vested interest. Then monitoring will be established.
This seems backwards to me.
I believe the ministry should establish monitoring to see if there are indeed scientifically verifiable reasons to cull the cormorant population. Then if such a need is proven, I do not believe a free-for-all hunting season (and allowed waste) should be established. There are other ways to cull the population without harming other wildlife like loons.
