I am concerned about this proposal regarding hunting double breasted cormorants. First, cormorants share nesting grounds with other animals, including great blue and green herons and great egrets, so hunting puts these and other birds and their nests at risk. Read more

I think this proposal has a lot of merit. The cormorant population is getting out of control. I would rather see a return to the oiling of eggs during nesting seasons as a population control as the disposal of birds could be an issue.

As a property owner with frontage on Presqu'ile Bay in southern Ontario, I fully support a reduction in the cormorant population, as the vast flocks that sweep back and forth across our small bay have in my observation had a significant impact in reducing fish populations in the bay. Read more

I strongly oppose the proposed changes for the hunting regulations on the Double-crested Cormorant and I oppose these changes for obvious reasons. The first reason as to why I disagree with the proposed changes is because there is a slight decline in the Double-crested Cormorant population. Read more

We have been threw this before, with other species. This is going to be the same problem that we had with wolves, take a look at what happened in YellowStone National park, as we figured out with the wolves, they do play an important role in the ecosystems they are part of. Read more

This bag limit is way too high if you aren't doing population monitoring!!! No way that this proposal is sustainable. Make a lower bag limit (Maximum 20 birds/day) and establish a possession limit. People are just going to destroy this species if you don't put checks in place...

Please absolutely no. You have been mislead with false myth and information regarding this bird. Their return to the native great lakes is a sign of health bio-diversity that have been proven study after study. These birds have been wrongly prosecuted and we drove them to extinction once.

As a resident of Northwestern Ontario, I have seen first hand how cormorants can devestate habitat on islands. As an avid fisherman who fishes on Lake Superior often, there is multiple islands that have virtually been inhabited by these birds. Read more
