CorMan and
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 Palearctic
is to organise a
pan-European census of breeding colonies
in 2012 and a census of winter
roosts in January 2013. More information
about the project will come out in early
September.
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.

measures to minimise damage on fishing nets
caused by cormorants were tested in a lowland
lake in Switzerland. The full report is available
