Supporting the hunt for Cormorants - decimating Fisheries is not a positive reality. These birds have been an issue in the United States and have been historically targeted lethally for a reason. Below an excerpt from Wildlife.org

"Since its inception (Cormorant Control Efforts), various agencies have attempted to manage cormorants under the PRDO in a variety of locations. Michigan’s Les Cheneaux Islands located in northern Lake Huron, home to an important recreational yellow perch (Perca flavescens) fishery, was one of the first. Some of the islands had been colonized by over 11,000 nesting cormorants. Research in the 1990s documented predation by cormorants on the fish, but the researchers concluded that the predation did not diminish the perch population (Belyea 1999). By 2000 the perch fishery had collapsed and subsequent research indicated that cormorants were a significant contributing factor to natural mortality rates as high as 85 percent"

The longer this bird is able to prey in the areas in which it dwells it will continue to diminish food sources for larger game fish which will in turn decimate lakes in their entirety.
