I am opposed to the cormorant hunt. I don't think that there is enough evidence to support the hunt given that our ecosystems are so confused. The cormorants are providing an ecosystem service similar to that once provided by Passenger Pigeons in the form of the guano they produce. There is evidence that the guano, while having a negative impact within our time frame on some vegetation, is also facilitating vegetation. Who is to choose which is better? It just is. At one time the PP was persecuted for its numbers and "negative" effects...the irony is inescapable!

The OMNRF does not invest enough money in research and development to be able to recommend such a radical and lethal solution, and I do not support this action.
