The population control of the double crested cormorants is long overdue. Governments have shunned away from any type of hunt due to the push back of a few birding groups and animal rights fanatics.

I am not in favour of this proposal for the following reasons;
1. If cormorant numbers have stabilized or have decreased this indicates that the species has reached carrying capacity and the environment has adjusted to the species return into the environment. There is no reason to cull.

This is an excellent and overdue plan to control the population of a very destructive bird. Take a boat cruise through the 1000 Islands area of the St. Lawrence River to see the damage they can cause. What tourist would want to see that?

I live in south western ontario on the shores of lake Erie, and I work in hamilton near the bay. These birds are 100% a devestation to the scenery, the wildlife, and eco systems.

I absolutely agree with a season for cormorants as they are overpopulated and killing all vegetation on islands in the French River and Lake Nipissing.

These birds have had a negative impact on fish and other waterfowl wildlife in the Georgian Bay / North Simcoe area. I support management practices for these birds.
Yes I think that we should be able to hunt cormorant cause they are killing all the fish in are lakes and there a lot and lots of em.! You guys should also open a season for sand hill crane there doing a lot of damage to are agricultural field and there 1000 and 1000 of em it’s crazy!

This is a much needed season for controlling cormorants numbers. I have a cottage in the Bruce Peninsula and many of the small islands in Lake Huron are overrun with them. It is almost unbearable to go near the islands by boat, due to the smell.

I do believe the cormorants are eating more fish than our lakes can sustain. I would agree with a lengthy hunting season and allowing a chance for our native wildlife to regain the spot they once had.
I wholeheartedly support this proposal. I have witnessed first hand the destruction to habitat that doublebreasted cormorants have caused in the lakes that I spend much time on recreationally. The damage caused to island and marine adjacent habitats is nothing short of sickening.

we should have been hunting and oiling eggs years ago before the birds got out of control ,they have been decimating fish and baitfish and killing trees for too long go to the Niagara river and see for your self , start the hunt ASAP and egg oiling ASAP from a concerned fisherman.
The proposal is a realistic and reasonable first start to controlling this species. The combination of a vastly improved habitat and environment over the last several years, as well as being a protected species has and will continue to produce an overabundant population.

I live in the lighthouse cove in Ontario it’s on beautiful lake st Clair atthe mouth of the Thames river. In the past 5 years comerants have taken over populations have multiplied drastically. They are killing all the trees they roost in at night.
