“In the hearing on the cormorant problem al Trasimeno lake I learned with satisfaction that the institutions have already set up tables to address e solve the problem, but I believe that the only really effective solution is also the one proposed by the regional councilors of the Veneto League, that is to allow actions to contain the species ”: said the regional councilor of Umbria Valerio Mancini (Lega) who had requested the hearing since the beginning of June. "Only in this way - explains Mancini - the excessive presence of this species, harmful to the environment, can be concretely reduced.
The hunting associations have asked for the inclusion of cormorants among the opportunist species, deemed harmful and harmful to the environment, noting the need to provide for a derogation from hunting to contain this species. The massive presence of cormorants on Lake Trasimeno is also counterproductive for fishing which, after months of great difficulty due to the pandemic, has to deal with this other problem.
It is therefore appropriate that provision be made for refreshments to be allocated to fishermen, so that they can be at least partially compensated for the damage suffered. The migratory cormorants are becoming a sedentary species - concludes the Lega councilor - therefore it is appropriate to allow culling actions as soon as possible to limit its proliferation and at the same time provide concrete aid to fishing professionals "(Source: Umbria Region).
