Cormorants need controlled ASAP. They should be treated as an invasive species. They are eating piles of native fish to the point of potentially harming the fish population. It's time to control their population through any means. Read more

Our property is on Stoney Lake in the Kawartha Lakes region. We have observed the increase of cormorants on the lake with great concern. Small islands on the lake have been taken over by cormorants and totally devastated them. Tall white pines on uninhabited islands have no foliage. Read more

I've fished the Bay of Quinte area for about 40 yrs.. I never use to see a cormorant and now they're very abundant. I'm not aware of any natural predation and am concern about the number of fish they remove from the ecosystem. Read more

I think this is a great idea and long overdue. Although I truly hate the idea of leaving any animal to spoil without harvesting the meat it can’t be debated the level of destruction on habitat over predation on adolescent sportfish and bait fish. The cormorant population must be reduced. Read more

It seems to me that using a method of rendering the eggs useless in all the well known nesting areas in southern Ontario would control the population just as effectively at less cost in both dollars and social unrest among the human population. Read more
