This is a welcomed long overdue proposal to control this "non-indigenous" species.
Traditionally the commercial fishermen in our area realized their impact on the fishery and were able to control their numbers by oiling their eggs.
The commercial fishing licences here have all been bought out by the Ministry and their numbers have increased exponentially.
Flocks of feeding cormorants up to 100-200 are common here on Georgian Bay.
I strongly support this proposal and look forward to participating in this hunt to control this opportunistic species.
I do not feel that this proposal puts other species at risk as any experienced hunter who purchases a hunting licence and migratory game permit can readily identify cormorants.
