My husband and I are very troubled by this proposal. Why do humans feel they have to 'manage' everything in life and nature. It has already been stated that cormorant populations were previously in decline, rebounded and are now declining somewhat again. It is easier to kill things than regenerate them so what happens if they become scarce, will we try to repopulate the cormorant species? I very much doubt it! If this bird breeds so abundantly that it needs man to control its population why hasn't there been an Alfred Hitchcock type invasion from them previously.
We have a pair of cormorants on our lake that everybody here recognizes - we know they eat the fish but somehow we all get along and it would be sad to see them culled.
Please let nature take its course.
