Cormorant Relief Act: New Rules for Fish Farmers
This act aims to reintroduce regulations for controlling double-crested cormorant populations at aquaculture facilities, such as fish farms and ponds. This means that fish farmers in more states, as well as private lake and pond managers, will be able to more effectively protect their resources from these birds, potentially impacting fish availability and prices.
Key points
Expanded Scope: Cormorant control regulations will apply to 12 additional states, including California, Illinois, and Ohio.
Increased Authority for Managers: Private lake and pond managers will gain the same authority to control cormorants as existing aquaculture facility managers.
Protecting Fish Farms: The goal is to protect fish farms from damage caused by cormorants, which may support local fish producers.
