	The Cormorant Conflict
		Sea gulls, foxes, and raccoons are the primary predators of cormorant eggs and chicks, while the adult cormorants are susceptible to predation by bald eagles and the occasional owl[4].
		The decline of the cormorant came as a result of reproductive failures, which were caused by the high level of toxic chemicals, mainly DDT and PCBs, found in the freshwater throughout the regions the cormorant inhabited.
		The Cormorant is protected under the 1916 Migratory Bird Treaty with Canada, indirectly under the Ramsar Convention, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA).

		One of 38 species of cormorants worldwide, and one of six species in North America, it is usually found in flocks, and is sometimes confused with geese or loons when on the water.
		However, according to dietary studies of cormorants on New York's Oneida Lake, summer resident and migrating birds can diminish the number of catchable size walleye pike and yellow perch available to anglers, but overall, cormorants are not a threat to the continued viability of these fish populations.
		Cormorants are only one of many factors, such as water quality, aquatic habitat, other natural predation, and angler catch, that can affect forage fish populations.

	NAS: Cormorant
		Populations of double-crested cormorants declined dramatically during the 1950s and 1960s from the effects of human persecution, the pesticide DDT and the overall declining health of many ecosystems, especially that of the Great Lakes.
		Cormorants and other waterbirds such as pelicans and herons can have adverse impacts on fish populations at fish farms, hatcheries, and sites where hatchery-reared fish are released- situations in which fish are concentrated in artificially high densities.
		Because cormorants are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, their nests and eggs cannot be disturbed, and birds cannot be captured or killed unless a depredation permit is obtained from the Service.

	LeBlancT's Cormorant Paper
		The numbers of Double-crested cormorants (Phalacrscorax auritus) have now increased to the points where many complaints are being made against this bird by the fishing industry for its alleged depredations on fish (Gross, A.O., 1944).
		The first cormorant colony reported breeding in New York was on June 20th, 1945 at Gull island, Jefferson County, in eastern lake Ontario (Kutz, H.L. and G.G. Allen, 1947).
		The cormorants should have the right to breed without human disturbance, and the fishing industry should also be able to catch "their" fish to live on.

	CNN.com - The Navy's swimming spy plane - Feb 24, 2006
		The Cormorant, a stealthy, jet-powered, autonomous aircraft that could be outfitted with either short-range weapons or surveillance equipment, is designed to launch out of the Trident missile tubes in some of the U.S. Navy's gigantic Cold War--era Ohio-class submarines.
		These formerly nuke-toting subs have become less useful in a military climate evolved to favor surgical strikes over nuclear stalemates, but the Cormorant could use their now-vacant tubes to provide another unmanned option for spying on or destroying targets near the coast.
		The Cormorant has to be strong enough to withstand the pressure 150 feet underwater -- enough to cave in hatches on a normal aircraft -- but light enough to fly.

	Cormorant/Fisherman Conflict in Tillamook County
		Because a few Tillamook County fishing guides and fishermen felt that cormorants were destroying their salmon and steelhead fisheries, they pressured the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) into giving them permits to harass (but not kill) cormorants in the spring of 1988 on public waters of Nehalem and Tillamook Bays.
		But if cormorants are harassed, there are many other predators that could eat the "saved" smolts, including adult coho and chinook salmon, steelhead, cutthroat trout, and striped bass that may eat millions of salmon and steelhead smolts along the Oregon Coast each year.
		Biologists may have somewhat defused the cormorant harassment issue if they were more able to communicate with nonbiologically-trained fishermen, but even so, there are a few fishing guides and fishermen who refuse to believe any information that does not agree with their own opinions.

		Ukai, or cormorant fishing, is a traditional method of river fishing that has been practiced in Japan for some 1300 years.
		The life span of a wild cormorant is approximately 4 to 5 years, but the cormorants used in Ukai are well fed and cared for and are treated like family by the fishing masters.
		Each bird is on a leash, and it requires particular skill by the Usho to prevent the leashes from becoming entangled as the birds dive repeatedly for their catch.
