[QUOTE="Fly Carpin, post: 289938, member: 1187"] For those unwilling to read such densely worded policy, the alternatives they're looking at compared to the no action alternative are: [COLOR=#333333][FONT=helvetica](1) Establish a new permit for State wildlife agencies for authorizing certain cormorant management and control activities that are normally prohibited and are intended to relieve or prevent impacts from cormorants on wild and stocked fisheries, aquaculture facilities, human health and safety, property, and threatened and endangered species (as listed under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 [I]et seq.[/I])). States would have the delegated authority to determine whether, when, where, and for what purposes to control cormorants within limits set by the Service.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=helvetica](2) Establish an aquaculture depredation order, which would allow take of cormorants under prescribed conditions at aquaculture facilities without the need to acquire an individual permit.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=helvetica](3) Both (1) and (2) in combination. [FONT=Verdana]If you've noticed a remarkable decline in the quality of a recreational fishery in the last X years, or any other adverse impact to a fishery, and you think it's due to cormorant population increase, comment on this! It's your right and duty as an American to take an active role as a stakeholder. Or just complain on Nodak and yuck it up about practicing the three S's. Either way is good with me.
