I'm confused. One sentence you say this is only for standing trees and it won't be removing the stumps. But then you say the Audubon society wants stumps for the cormorants and that this is for navigational purposes.

Is it possible that cormorants don't have anything to do with this discussion? And now that we are past that silly argument, how are you going to improve navigational purposes without removing the stumps?

And how are the trees going to be harvested 10 ft below the waterline? Scuba divers with chainsaws? Or by lowering the lake 10 ft?
