Implementing a double-crested cormorant hunting season especially one thar spans the breeding season of these birds and associated nesters seems to be an interference from humans to the recovery pf a native bird at its basest.
Doea the activity of these birds change the ecology of their environment? Absolutly. But to who's detriment or benefit? No scientific opinions or studies s have been put forward.
On what base where the "limits" of kills per person per day established and to what end. Was itnto satisfy yhe "hunting lust" of people disconnected from nature. How many of these birds will be eaten by the hunters.
Since we are so slow at establishing regulations for species in decline, we should equally if.not even slower at putting in new regulations on populations who have barely had time to boinced back from drastic decline.
Do not pass this proposal as, iny opinion, it is not only premature but also ill- researched.
