I'm against proceeding with this proposal in its current form on the following grounds:
The proposal isn't founded in good science or established wildlife conservation principles. For one thing, the length of the proposed hunting season allows for hunting during breeding season, which goes against long-held traditional wisdom and good wildlife management practices.
Where is the scientific justification for this hunt? This species interacts with others in its ecosystem in complex ways; how will authorities ensure that the population of double-crested cormorants, as well as other species within its ecosystem, will not be adversely impacted if, as it appears, there is no process for monitoring populations which is operative concurrent with the opening of the hunt?
I worry that this proposal panders to those for whom the impact to the environment is less important than the economics related to tourism and sport fishing.
