I oppose this change in regulations. I live on the St Lawrence river and see these birds daily. They are well adapted to this area and have reached a balance in population.

The Double-crested Cormorant is not a game bird and is not very edible for humans. Letting them rot is illegal for a reason. Hunters should not let their game rot as this is a waste of resources.

This proposal is an attempt to reduce the numbers of cormorants. This will not reduce the numbers if there is sufficient food to keep them breeding. The regulation might please some voters but politics is not the optimum way to make decisions on wildlife management. In my opinion it would be better to let nature regulate the numbers.
