As both an avid hunter as well as a fisheries and environmental professional, I am extremely excited about the prospect of a hunting season for double crested cormorants. I support the proposal and am curious about the study mentioned that would monitor the impact of the proposed harvest. Provided it is a robust study that can accurately warn of excessive declines in cormorant populations I believe the harvest is an excellent idea to help control a species that are visibly destroying habitats (like around the Toronto islands, Tommy Thompson Park, and Hamilton harbour). Thank you for opening up this discussion to the public.
