Joint Appeal Issued to Combat Cormorant Population Dutch and Swedish ministers have joined forces with their Swedish counterparts to issue a joint appeal to the European Commission regarding the management of the cormorant population. The call for action was spearheaded by Minister of Regional and Agriculture Hendrik Johannes Terras and Minister of Energy and Environment Andres Sutt. The appeal, directed to the European Commission’s environment and fisheries commissioners, emphasizes the need for enhanced control measures targeting the cormorant. Ministers argue this is crucial for safeguarding vital fish stocks. Furthermore, they cite concerns about the damage the cormorant’s feeding habits inflict upon aquaculture operations and the broader implications for food security. The cormorant’s typical diet consists of small fish, and the ministers believe current population levels are negatively impacting local fisheries. The joint effort represents a significant step in addressing this ongoing issue within the European fishing sector. The appeal highlights a shared commitment between the Netherlands and Sweden to work collaboratively with the European Commission to implement effective strategies for managing the cormorant population and mitigating its impact on the environment and economy.
