I am a Yacht Captain and Sport Fisherman. My traveling covers all of the Great Lakes. The damage that I have witnessed from the Commorants is beyond devastating in regards to the trees and vegetation being totally being killed on many islands and green spaces that we have paid to put in place. The Leslie Street spit is a really good example as we paying to make it a nice park and the birds are killing it!!!
If you come out of the Toronto Harbour on your boat and there is an East wind the smell is so bad that I have had guests vomit from the stink.. There has to be a health problem for humans there somewhere.
The amount of fish they kill per day never mind the amount they eat will destroy most if not all fisheries in Ontario especially the Great Lakes. The Sport Fishing industries brings and contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to the economy and without fish no sales, no jobs, no industry..
The flocks that are on the Leslie Street spit are in the thousands and are not exceptable!!!!!!!

THEY NEED TO BE REDUCED IN NUMBERS>>>>>

Thank You
