Cormorants are killing vegetation on many islands on the Rideau system among other bodies of water which in turn is leading to rapid erosion. Since their numbers have been on the rise, generations of game fish are struggling because of the unnatural amount of competition.

This proposal is extremely ill-advised. The great lakes cormorant population has been steady since around 2000, so that there is little need for a cull, and 50 birds a day will potentially result in their extinction within a few years.

I fully support the establishment of a hunting season for coromants. I have seen the devastation they have caused to islands in Lake Erie and along shorelines, and quite honestly can’t believe it has taken this long to bring about a hunting season for them
I think a hunting season for cormorants would be a good thing to have, they need to have their population controlled. I dont like how they destroy small islands on the bay of quinte.
Thanks!
This is a brilliant plan. There are so many of these birds and theyre like a pest species. they're destroying islands in Georgian bay with the feces. They also do quite a number on local fish numbers.

I have lived and boated on Lake Erie for almost 70 years now. When I was a youngster we never saw Cormorants on the lake. In the last 15 years or so they have become quite common and obviously they being fish consumers, they have had a major impact on the fisheries in the lake.

these birds are a are destructive and destroying islands and fish stocks. they should have been controlled years ago. I am all for a season. hope this change happens quickly. you troll through an area in your boat and don't see any minnows and small fish.

I agere that the cormorant population Should be Controled due to the damage they do to fish populations and trees. This is something that is done in europe for awhile.
