This proposal, with which I disagree, reminds me of the probable extinction of the Eskimo Curlew. From Arthur Cleveland Bent (1929), "Hunters would shoot the birds without mercy until they had literally slaughtered a wagonload of them.... Sometimes when their wagons were too quickly and easily filled, whole loads of the birds would be dumped on the prairie, their bodies forming piles as large as a couple of tons of coal. The bodies would be allowed to rot while the hunters proceeded to refill their wagons with fresh victims and thus further gratify their lust of killing."

Local control of cormorants based on science would be much more reasonable than the current proposal that would set us back a century.
