I am in agreement with controlling the kormorant population. I am assuming that other options have been examined such as destroying the eggs/nests, oiling eggs, etc. If a hunt must proceed I strongly suggest that hunters should retrieve their kill as with any other waterfowl and not left to wash up somebody else's shore for disposal. Hunters must be responsible for whatever they kill.
We are in a popular vacationing, boating and swimming area and hunting should be restricted to coincide with other waterfowl hunting seasons to safely allow for recreational activities during summer months.
If this proposal were to continue unchanged, then what are shoreline owners to do with the carcasses? We already dispose of the occasional dead duck and are uneasy as to how many more dead birds will appear on the shoreline. Thank you.
