Comment
Although I do believe in the benefits of this hunt, I strongly suggest we CONSIDER:
- Preventing ANY disruption of breeding and breeding grounds of other bird species such as herons.
- Consider the impact of hunting from a stationary motorboat and the gathering or lack thereof of the shot birds. The number of dead rotting birds in waterways and shorelines are a DETRIMENT to health, safety and recreation of the shorelines.
(I highly doubt many hunters will gather 50 cormorants and dispose of them properly.)
- The benefits of cormorants and that their diet does include eating invasive species such as carp and crayfish
