I would like to express my support for this legislation as I've witnessed the problems associated with the Cormorants in Ontario. As a canoeist and a hunter I've seen Island that were previously green and full of trees reduced to barren rocks once the Cormorants take over. Dickson Lake in Algonquin park would be one example, Islands on the lake are completely destroyed due to these pests. This may also explain why the blue green algae is taking over the lake although I can't say for sure. As an invasive species Cormorants are spreading out in a way that can only be negative for the areas affected. I don't remember seeing a single Cormorant on the French River prior to about 15 years ago and now they are everywhere and the effects are in plain sight, dead trees, particularly on small islands that Moose use when calving. Provincial parks clearly will not benefit from this legislation as hunting is prohibited and there should be additional measures to keep these invaders in check in those locations as well. Hopefully this is not too little to late.
