I wholeheartedly support this proposal. I have witnessed first hand the destruction to habitat that doublebreasted cormorants have caused in the lakes that I spend much time on recreationally. The damage caused to island and marine adjacent habitats is nothing short of sickening. Having read about the cormorants ability to eat up to 1/4 of its own body weight in fish per day; I can only imagine the impact that these successful hunting birds are having on our native fish stock. The impact upon the vulnerable hatchlings and fry is especially worrisome. I see that many midwestern states in the USA have re-instituted a hunting season for double breasted cormorants and I beleive it makes perfect sense for Ontario to do the same.
