The proposed changes are not…

The proposed changes are not sustainable for the double-cormorant population, it would be irresponsible to allow 50 per day with no limit. Entire colonies could be wiped out by a few individuals in a day. Not to mention the cruelty of allowing hunting during the breeding season, allowing their young chicks to starve/freeze to death without the protection of their parents. These birds nest among other water birds that would also be disturbed or harmed during their breeding season as well, such as Great Blue Herons. People shouldn't be allowed to tromp into a wetland or waterfront with guns during the breeding season. Period.
