Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of the Interior to develop regional management frameworks for controlling double-crested cormorant populations within 180 days of enactment. Each framework must specify allowed methods and time periods for taking cormorants, identify authorized entities (including state agencies, tribes, hunters, and lake/pond managers), and account for cormorants' effects on fisheries, vegetation, other birds, human health, water quality, and endangered species. The bill also mandates population surveys every five years and framework updates based on survey results.
