I have carefully read and considered your proposal. There is no impact statement of the consequences of the hunt either directly or to other birds nesting or associated with them such as gulls or various diving ducks, loons or grebes.
This is an open season on cormorants when considering the length of the hunting season and that cormorants are not around in the early part of the year. Is this an extermination proposal as I see no other reason for it? I am a birder and see cormorants regularly. Their impact is no greater than any bird that nests or finds food in larger numbers. I have heard many more complaints about geese.
