Muskoka Conservancy is an organization that values application of the best available conservation science.
Our organization is aware of concerns that cormorants have been detrimental to fish populations, island habitats, and aesthetics, as it is a regular topic of conversation among Muskoka cottagers and property owners.
The chief concern shared with Muskoka Conservancy is that cormorant populations are negatively impacting Common loon populations.
Before any decision is made on population control/cull of cormorants, Muskoka Conservancy would be interested in scientific studies into the population dynamic between cormorant and Common loon on Muskoka lakes, as part of an overall scientific analysis of cormorant population on the inland lakes component of the Great Lakes population.
