I think its a great step in the right direction, as it stands there is no check in place for controlling rampant numbers on lac seul . its a shame to watch the fishery go down the same way the moose population went to mismanagement.

Good afternoon. The cormorant issue since I have been fishing the Great Lakes has gotten bad. I do feel the amount of cormorants have tripled over the past 10 years and maybe more than that. I have seen rafts /flocks of cormorants that put snow goose flocks to shame.

As an Ontario resident and Hunter I recognize the value of hunting as both a management tool and a way to feed my family. I think this is an excellent proposal.
Thank you for finnally making this ammendment. We have been watching our bait fish deplete for years. I heard each bird consumes 3 - 6 lbs of fish a day. Well done on the ammendment! I appreciate it and so will many other fishermen and hunters.
Cormorants appear to be reducing the young sport fish in our Great Lakes. We believe it's time to allow for a proper count and reduction of this invasive waterfowl.
I understand a cormorant can consume 2-5 lbs of fish a day.

We are proposing to list the double-crested cormorant as a game bird, create a hunting season in Ontario for population management and make related changes.This proposal would be implemented through a series of regulatory and legislative amendments.

Congratulations, once again the gov. bowed to misinformed pressure and studied a problem that should have been addressed 25 yearago. When will the MNRF react to the suggestions from their own biologists rather than emotional misfits?

I believe this proposal is long overdue. I have seen the devastation these birds have caused over the last years on vegetation on the small islands from Kingston to Brighton. The destruction may be irreversible.
Cormorant meat is gross and unpalatable. The cormorant should not be included in the game bird category. The cormorant should be considered as a nuisance with the possible use of a bounty system until their numbers are under control.

Dear Public Input Coordinator,
This comment concerns the Proposal to establish a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario, ERO/EBR Registry Number 013-4124.

The damage to fish populations and flora I have witnessed throughout Ontario from this animal over the last 20 years is incredible. I strongly support a controlled hunt as part of an overall management plan for this animal.
No. Killing someone for sport encourages violence and desensitizes people to death and harming living beings. There is no need for killing animals for 'sport'.

I agree that legislation should be passed to allow hunting of cormorants in order to prevent them from overpopulating and/or negatively impacting other wildlife.
Our NWO area of lakes is OVERRUN with Cormorants AND Pelicans to the detriment of our communities health for clean drinking and washing water.
