This proposal if enacted in my opinion would have an unpredictable effect on the fisheries and lake ecology and cause suffering to nesting birds and nestlings of many species. Significant reduction in cormorant populations would allow an increase in populations of invasive fish species as evidenced by a 2016 Lake Michigan study. This would in effect have a negative effect on the fisheries and biodiversity. Allowing a high hunting bag limit is very problematic and would lead to injury, trauma and death to many species of birds. Hunters would not consume cormorant flesh. This amounts to a massive wildlife cull.
