Cormorant ‘harassment’ program continues in effort to protect young fish Harassment, or “hazing,” of double-crested cormorants is set to begin soon in several areas along the Oregon Coast in an effort to improve survival of juvenile salmon. Double-crested cormorants are fish-eating waterbirds that occur throughout the state. The species is an Oregon native, and is particularly prevalent on the state’s estuaries during April through October. Research indicates cor- morants can consume signifi- cant numbers of juvenile salmon during this time period. To reduce the threat to young fish, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is working with several nonprofit and local governmental organi- zations to haze cormorants on six coastal estuaries over the next two to four months. Hazing will involve driving the birds from locations where juvenile salmon are seasonally concentrated, toward areas where non-salmon fish species are more abundant. Workers will use boats and, on some estuaries, small pyrotechnics, to accomplish the task. Hazing is intended to increase the survival of both wild-spawned and hatchery salmon juveniles as they migrate to the ocean. Some of these spring migrants represent species that are experiencing conditions of conservation risk, including coho salmon, which is federally threatened in Oregon under the Endangered Species Act.

I am almost 2 years old now, and I came into the shelter here in Florence in September of 2016. I am a very active young guy who very much enjoys lots of run and play like any dog. I can be rowdy sometimes when playing, and need to be reminded sometimes to use my manners, and that I am a good boy. Also, you should know, I have been on a special diet. I will require special food for my diet, so if you are thinking of adopting me, please ask the shelter staff about my food... If you are interested in my adoption, please come to see me here at the Oregon Coast Humane Society.
