Comment
This proposal is inappropriate and not scientifically or environmentally sound in the following areas:
1) Daily limit is too high
2) Hunting season too long
3) Hunting method from boats is dangerous and unnecessary
4) Non-existing management strategy - this current proposal will eliminate the population
5) These are not a game bird, this hunt would only be for recreation and not consumption or use and that is inappropriate
6) There are other options for population control, if that is scientifically deemed necessary, that are more responsible and based on sound science such as oiling eggs
7) The science behind the need for reducing cormorants due to consumption of perch is thin at best
