Over a couple years cormorants have moved in on a lake in eastern Ontario. These birds were never native to our area. Cormorants took over an island on the lake which was folorishing with trees and plants. Over the span of 5-7 years this island is empty, bare no plant life. This lake was a Great Lake for fishing. It is now terrible. The seagulls were always around the lake as long as I can remember and have done no damage to the island or fish population. Now the cormorants have ceased the lake with a growing population. Something needs to happen. This proposed hunting season for cormorants would be a good solution.
