Cormorant Management Plan at Lake Constance

A coordinated cormorant management initiative is set to take place at Lake Constance, addressing rising cormorant populations. The project aims to balance the protection of fish species with the interests of commercial and recreational fisheries.

Proposed methods include the use of drones to disrupt nesting success, alongside potential culling, even in protected areas. This plan is underpinned by extensive dialogue involving multiple stakeholders.

While some advocate for these measures to ensure ecological balance, conservationists express concerns over the implications for a protected species. Ultimately, the initiative seeks to establish a sustainable coexistence between cormorants and local fisheries.
