I believe that a double-breasted cormorant Hunt would help the Great Lakes and all surrounding environments in many ways. I have seen first-hand while spending time around Long Point and Lake Erie hunting and fishing, the distruction that these birds cause. Read more

My objections to the proposal are multiple and varied, including: (1) lack of scientific credibility and justification; (2) inconsistencies with standard norms for hunting and Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act principles; (3) unknown impact on Double-crested Cormorant populations, native biodiversi Read more
