I feel that this should be…

I feel that this should be passed in order to protect our fisheries and waterways from depletion due to the presence of cormorants. I like on Lake Nipissing and actively fish and recreationally use the lake often. In the last four years I have noticed cormorants on every trip on the lake with some floatilla's of over 200 birds. Rockislands are covered in them and fishing has depleted in the areas around these areas due to the feeding of the baitfish and the reduced vegetation from their waste.

The MNRF and they egg spraying can only do so much on the Lake and active hunting by anglers will aid in the elimination of these birds and their impacts on the fisheries.

Thank you for doing the right thing!
