Summary

The June issue offered a brief, qualified observation that the harbor cormorant count did not look high, while noting that the reason was uncertain and that many cormorants remained elsewhere in the Archipelago.

Evidence limits

This is an informal newspaper observation, not a wildlife survey, causal result, or measure of fish abundance.
