Summary
Beginning in November 2005, the Beaver Island Wildlife Club used the forum to solicit community support and legislative action concerning perceived cormorant impacts on Beaver Island fisheries. The campaign continued into February 2006 with calls to support Michigan House Resolution 185.
Evidence limits
The forum establishes an organized advocacy campaign and its stated objectives. It does not independently establish cormorant population counts, fishery damage, historical baselines, or the outcome of the proposed resolution.

- Wildlife Club president Jeffrey Powers asks residents to respond to a Petoskey News article, describes concern about fisheries, and later urges support for Michigan House Resolution 185. The thread contains strong advocacy, copied articles, personal observations, and unverified biological figures; it supports the existence of an organized local campaign, not the ecological claims or any control outcome.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 00 · t000493
