Bill overview
The Cormorant Relief Act of 2025 aims to ease restrictions on the management of double-crested cormorants near aquaculture facilities. Specifically, it directs the Secretary of the Interior to reissue a previous regulation that allows for the taking of these birds to protect fish farms. The updated regulation expands the states covered and includes lake and pond managers in the scope of those responsible for managing cormorant populations. This legislation seeks to balance the needs of aquaculture operations with the conservation of these birds.
