Partly as a consequence of the results gained in this project a new national management body was established. The task of the group is to implement this new knowledge about cormorant predation and its effect on local fish populations into the national cormorant management plan. This plan is being revised in 2007 and the preparatory work has started. The group has to provide a broad agreement between experts, managers and stakeholders about a balanced future cormorant management.
