Please comment on the benefits of managing the cormorant problem...

As an FYI... I've dealt with the gubmint before on regulations.. I was one of a handful of people who met with the state and successfully "lobbied" to have our antlerless deer season reduced. If we want this problem to be fixed, IMO, don't talk to them about how many crappie they may eat. There is no shortage of crappie. That is not going to change their mind. Much more mileage will be gained if people focus their comments on erosion caused loss of trees because of their concentrated droppings and the general health hazzard and stench from their droppings. This is only my opinion, but I think it's the right way to approach it.

I agree

Do they have a purpose?

The feds are taking comments on how to deal with the thousands of cormorants that have become a nuisance on virtually every lake in the US. Apparently they are protected by a migratory bird act agreement with Canada that is 80+ years old.
I cannot think of a single positive thing about cormorants. They ruin docks and duckblinds that they roost on and eat a couple lbs of fish every day. It is time for a change.

Congratulations on your fifth post.

Yes, cormorants have a purpose. And it's the same as cockroaches and rats.
