Apply to hunt cormorants
Description
The Cormorant Ordinance Saxony-Anhalt (KorVO LSA) has been in force in Saxony-Anhalt since 01.01.2015. This ordinance serves to protect the natural fish fauna and prevent significant damage to the fishing industry caused by cormorants. According to this ordinance, authorized persons are permitted to hunt cormorants in certain areas and under certain conditions and requirements and to prevent the formation of new breeding colonies by taking appropriate measures. This is intended to scare cormorants away from these areas in the event of imminent damage.
