Lets fish farms remove double-crested cormorants

Brings back a rule that lets fish farms and fish hatcheries in more states kill, catch, or move double-crested cormorants without a permit when the birds damage fish.

  • Covers owners, renters, and workers at fish farms and state and federal fish hatcheries
  • Adds state-licensed private lake and pond managers and more states to the rule
  • The rule would be renewed every five years
  • A court canceled the earlier version of this rule in 2016
