As cormorants are making a comeback from previous human interference, I find it unthinkable that you are considering allowing hunters to hunt then simply because they fish. What’s next, osprey, eagles? There are better ways to improve fishing by better protecting waterways and removing manmade obstructions and pollution, which would help all creatures who depend on fishing to survive.
A cormorant is one of those species I never saw as a child and have only seen in the last few years. I want my children and their children to know great diversity of life and compassion for all living creatures. We should be teaching people to respect life and take what is needed for survival, not just eliminate the competition so callously. Part of learning to get along involves respecting those animals whose life habits may not always be aligned to what we want as humans. we have many people who enjoy the outdoors with family and appreciation involves being aware of and respecting the needs and lives of these creatures.
