We need Cormorant control !!!

Cormorants are wreaking destruction in the Bay of Quinte area. Have a look at Snake Island just off Belleville ont. This used to be a green lush island, but is now a barren desert of rock that you can smell for miles away when the wind is blowing the right way. It looks awefull and all the trees are gone and dead. There are many other examples of the destruction these birds are doing to the environment. Another example is Scotch Bonnet island which stinks badley. There is at least 2-3 of these areas around any lake i have been to.

They also consume massive amount of fish. The Bay of Quinte is a nursery to 1-2 year old walleye. These birds are either decimating the prey they consume or the walleye themselves.
