Good afternoon. The cormorant issue since I have been fishing the Great Lakes has gotten bad. I do feel the amount of cormorants have tripled over the past 10 years and maybe more than that. I have seen rafts /flocks of cormorants that put snow goose flocks to shame. So I can only imagine the amount of fish they consume on a daily basis. I believe a season to cul the flocks would allow some of the depleting fish population to increase from Canada to the southern US States. I am not a biologist with specifics just an avid fisherman and waterfowl hunter that has observed these birds. Thank you for allowing me to comment on this topic.
