Cormorants are migratory. The proposed season duration covers the entire period the birds would be expected to live in the province. This seems inappropriate. If the current population is stable or declining, a hunting season will surely cause further decline. What population level is targeted for this species? What level of predation through hunting will achieve the target. Overall, I don't support this proposal. I might support a short season outside of prime breeding times.

I don't support allowing hunters to spoil the birds. They should be responsible for proper disposal.
