- The Chamber reported a call from the USDA Michigan Wildlife Services state director saying some control measures might begin that year, perhaps in August, after the Chamber’s letter of support. This is a Chamber relay of an agency communication, not a permit, operational log, population estimate, or proof that the projected work occurred.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 13 · t013225
- The Wildlife Club reported that control would return to the Great Lakes for at least a year and that it would work with USDA Wildlife Services in the archipelago. The post also attributed fishery improvement to reduced cormorants. It does not preserve a permit, operational record, population estimate, or independent evidence of ecological causation.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 12 · t012949
