I'm posting my comment because I am very concerned that this proposal will devastate the cormorant population, a native species which has only recently recovered in numbers.
Under this proposal, the hunting season is much too long and encompasses the nesting season. Further, each hunter would be permitted to kill up to 14,000 birds in a single hunting season and allow the carcasses to rot were they land. This encourages the worst form of hunting. The potential to impact other wildlife species and natural ecosystems is also cause for extreme concern.
