There were at least a dozen of them below the dam on the Trent tonight, they are a serious problem. Write your MPP, local politicians and demand action

Send a quick email, all politicians have email addresses. You might also want to google this article to see how bad the situation is getting. Google nine men charged with slaughtering cormorants, if anyone knows how to post it please do so

If you own property with Cormorants on them, you can call the MNR and get permission to cull them. Very easy. They don't want you using a .22 caliber, for humane reasons. Must be a shot gun.

The County approved a motion last Fall to support the MNR in culling the Cormorant population unanimously.

People have got to be educated that these are normally costal birds and due to changes in environment weather and politics they have been successful in slowly moving in land. I can't find any legitimate information about the creatures from history books. If they were here I'm sure that the licals would have commented on the destruction they bring.
If they are classified as invasive then there would be a lot of support for their removal.

These need to be controlled as we all know before it's too late.

There's a Private Member's Bill 205 to allow the hunting and trapping of these in Ontario.

More information here. https://www.ofah.org/issues/cormorants/

It's up to all of us to help seek support for this Bill so please contact your MPP with a quick letter asking for their support as well.

I've sent the email below to our MPP Sophie Kiwala. Please feel free to edit, copy and paste to send to yours.

Hello,

I am a resident of the Kingston area and would like to show my support of this Bill. Our area and waterways have been riddled and decimated by Cormorants and it’s time something was done to save our natural resources.

Being an avid fisher / boater, I have witnessed the demise of too much of our beautiful shores and islands. The cormorants have destroyed our Brothers Islands and are the cause of the destruction of many others close to Kingston. I see literally hundreds of these birds at Collins Bay and Fort Henry water ways on a daily basis. The amount of fish they consume is overwhelming and are quickly depleting the population of bait fish and the fry of other sport fish.

I beg you to please support this Bill and help keep Kingston and the area beautiful.

I emailed the mayor of Quinte West, the MP and MPP urging action to control cormorants. They will listen if they believe inaction on their part could impact reelection
