As a wildlife biologist, I disagree that any native species should be targeted to reduce its population sizes. Double-crested cormorants occur naturally in Ontario, and their numbers do not need to be controlled across the province as they play an integral role in their own ecosystems. It would be far more beneficial to society and the environment if similar measures were taken to control the numbers of introduced invasive species instead. Native birds are not the enemy!
