I support the proposal. I also recommend establishing a cormorant population reduction in the nesting colonies on Toronto Islands and Leslie St spit in Toronto Lake Ontario waterfront. I have fishes for thirty years in Lake Ontario for salmon and trout.

Please allow for hunters to have all year open season with a high daily limit and unlimited possession limit.
These birds are destroying entire islands of their trees and wildlife and when in large groups the amount of fish they eat is outstanding! They can devastate a lake.

Open season on these pests is a great idea I live on a lake in Ontario these dam birds eat so much of the fish Spawn. And kill so may trees on beautiful areas. Now left dead and bare Our family loves going for boat rides looking at the landscape.

I am in favour of having an open year round season on the double breasted cormorant where hunting is allowed. I have seen the destruction of shore habitat caused by them which results in ruined areas not usable by other wildlife.

I live in Erieau on the north shore of Lake Erie . Every spring living on the lake shore I see hundreds and hundreds of cormorants flying by my house as well as in Rondeau bay , They have started to roost in trees across from our pier and are killing all the trees with there droppings .

Currently I fish and hunt in the Province of Ontario and have done so for over 50 years. In previous years I have seen the benefits of proper management controls for hunting and fishing for both my generation and for future generations.

I think cormorants should be controlled with hunting as their numbers have drastically increased on Lake Nipissing in the 9 years I have been living on the lake.They hunt for fish in an incredibly organized manner,somewhat comparative to wolves.I think their numbers need to be controlled .
It is disgusting that the government is moving forward with this. When will this end... What bird will be next. It seems that fishermen are pushing this and some politicians that are trying to keep their base happy.

Cormorants, unfortunately, for other species, share the same nesting sites especial along the shoreline of the Bruce, such as Chantry island and the Fishing Islands. The proposal allows shooting from a stationary boat.

These birds are a menace! Sea Gulls and Terns don’t even like them. Visit Oneida Lake, Henderson Harbor, and a few of your once beatiful river Islands and view the damage they have created. I fished Kentucky Lake last year and they damaged trees there too.

What a fantastic and long overdue proposal. These birds are a menace, their population has exploded and they need to be brought under control. Please push this proposal through!
In my opinion. . I think this would make a dig difference in the fish population and to all the stoking efforts put in over the years ,by controlling or eliminating the birds from destroying all the hard work to try to make a great fishery for the years to come ..
I have been witness to these birds destroying habitat and acidifying the environment. they are aggressive and destructive. It is my feeling that if these birds are not controlled the effects on their, and our environment will be strongly felt. they can be more destructive than humans...
