Restore a Healthy Lake Champlain: Cormorant Control

Colchester, VT, United States
Created January 24, 2012

The Issue

The double-crested cormorant is an invasive waterbird that impairs the fisheries, native birds, swimming, boating, and water health of Lake Champlain. Reliable funding is needed to control cormorants and protect Lake Champlain and the region's economy.
