The proposed limit of 50…

The proposed limit of 50 birds per day is too high. Entire colonies could be obliterated. This would be irresponsible management.

Allowing hunting during the breeding season in close proximity to colonies would also cause negative impact to other species that nest alongside cormorants, many of which are species of concern. Hunting should not be allowed at breeding sites during breeding seasons.

This issue should be based on scientifically derived information, not anecdotal information. Loud voices are not necessarily correct.
