CorManand
Cormorant counts in the western
Palearctic
CorMan
is a new initiative taken by the European
Commission. One of the main goals of this
new initiative is to collaborate with the
Cormorant Research Group
in order to assess the number and
distribution of great cormorants in
Europe during
breeding and winter. The
aim of the joint cormorant count project Cormorant
Counts in the western Palearcticis to organise a
pan-European census of breeding colonies
in 2012 and a census of winter
roosts in January 2013 (see materials and
links below). The new initiative CorMan
also has the aim of developing a website
(platform) under DG Environment. The website
is available through this link. The main aim of
the Platform is to disseminate
information about cormorants, cormorant
numbers, management and conflicts related
to cormorants, fish, fisheries and
aquaculture. The Platform will be
extended and more material will be added
during 2012 and 2013. Contacts between CorMan
and relevant stakeholder groups has
been established through a
Stakeholders’ Liaison Group.
By June
2013 national overviews
of the colony census will be
published in a technical
Wetlands International / Aarhus
University report
In July 2013 a
summary of the results of the
breeding count (2012) and roost
count (2013) will be published on
the EU Cormorant Platform
