I support the proposal to establish a hunting season on the double-crested cormorant.
The biodiversity of sensitive island ecosystems is being threatened by cormorant nesting communities which kill all vegetation by covering it with their guano (Golden Lake, ON has a very good example), other water bird species are displaced due to lack of habitat and competition for food. Angling opportunities are also diminished thereby decreasing tourism in the area.
