Comment
According to the Ottawa Field Naturalists Society, cormorants have become a significant predator of some small invasive fish species in the Great Lakes – the Round Goby and the Alewife. Suppressing populations of these invasive fish helps to reduce the unnatural pressure on native fish populations.
Cormorants are not game birds. There is no valid justification to target them by establishing a hunting season.
Please do not proceed with this proposal.
