Located on lake couchiching in Orillia, the double crested cormorant has taken over the lake and destroyed most of the small fishing habitats such as the rock bass, perch, and smelt populations of lake Simcoe.

Having seen the population growth and corresponding negative affects on the lake fish population in my area and the spreading devastation of some island environments I am in favour of this initiative.

I have no stake in this issue. I am not a hunter, farmer or fisherman. I am not a conservationist, an animal activist or a biologist. Various species on our planet our going extinct. The numbers for this bird used to be so low that it was cause for concern.

I think this legislation is a long time coming. Having a cottage on Lake Nipissing for the past 13 years, I have seen the cormorant population grow and expand exponentially.

After extensive boating on the Trent canal and the St Lawrence river, the damage these birds cause is very apparent. They will find a roost area and ruin the vegetation in that area. We have. Witnessed whole islands with total loss of trees. Once this happens, they then move to the next area.

Cormorants have been a major problem for us in the fish farming industry since they showed up.
They destroy the land they roost on and they are very intelligent hunters that have had a devistating impact on many fish.

Not a season, a year round cull. Maybe a criminal investigation into whoever allowed these dirty creatures to be set loose here. I have spent hours watching them take walleye and bass out of the Ottawa river, one can only imagine the damage caused by them in small water bodies.
The lack of control on this bird has allowed them to destroy a small island on our lake they now over run the lake. They are polluting the water and impacting the fish population some controll is necessary now.
I support a hunt season on the Double Crested Cormorant . We are seeing more and more Cormorant on our smaller inland lakes and the bait fish are declining from these fish eating birds. Islands and property around these lakes are being destroyed by these dirty birds.

Great idea. These birds have decimated the baitfish populations of the inland lakes and the Bay of Quinte. As well as the trees and plants in the area the nest are destroyed. Something needs to be done to curb the damage they have done.
The cormorant population in Rondeau Provincial Park has killed off most of the trees in the inner bay, they act as a stabilizing buffer to erosion from wind and tide damage inside the bay.

I'm totally in favor of introducing a season on these birds and it's long over due. I've watched these birds destroy 2 islands in lake erie , wiping out all the rare and native floral on these islands .
