I don't know much about this bill, but it sounds like another government overreach. Why do they need to manage cormorants? This is just going to create more red tape and bureaucracy. I don't like it one bit. Did you know that cormorants are actually skilled divers and can swim up to 45 meters deep to catch fish?
