Mother nature is definitely out of balance when it comes to the double - crested cormorant. There are just too many of them and with no natural predators, we need a hunting season to bring their numbers under control. Read more

Proposing a hunt for any bird species, particularly colonial nesting species, during the breeding bird season will impact other species that Cormorants nest alongside (e.g., Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Black-crowned Night-Herons). Read more

I support this proposal 100%. I have seen cormerants eat game fish, decimate small islands with their feceses and kill small trees. This would also create hunting opportunities and reduce competition with other game birds and loons.

I support the hunt in Ontario as other means to control the numbers have had limited effect (oiling of eggs with kerosene ) Lake Huron is facing growing concerns with reduced numbers of baitfish and declining populations of fish stocks. Read more

After reading your proposal, I am left with many questions. It does not sound like you really know what the consequences will be for the population of Double-crested Cormorants in the long-term if you allow them to be hunted, do you? Read more

I find this action deeply disturbing. I think a better solution would be to work towards limiting climate change and to lower our impact on nature. Increase the fish population, don’t kill one of its predators because human beings are the alpha predator. Shame on you.

I live on the St Lawrence River, I have seen many cormorants feasting every day on the sport fish and their minnows in front of our house. They have distoryed many trees which they nest in and smeared our boats and docks with their shit. Read more

I strony disagree with establishing a hunt from March to December with a daily bag limit of 50 birds. This species has made a comeback after conservation efforts and not enough research or science has been completed to approve this kind of absurd and harmful hunting season.
