Have Measures Worked In Ocean Pines To Control Geese Population?

BERLIN – While it’s too early to say if the efforts are working, the Ocean Pines Association has taken a multi-faceted approach to reducing the number of geese taking up residence in the community.

While the area is full of Canada geese in the midst of their annual fall migration, the Ocean Pines Association (OPA) has spent much of the past year targeting the non-migratory Canada geese that have settled around the ponds in the community. Following concerns about the effect the birds would have on water quality put forth by the Environmental and Natural Asset Advisory Committee, association officials last fall decided on a three-tiered system to discourage geese from settling in the area.

“The board decided on a multi-pronged approach to effectively manage the goose population,” OPA General Manager Bob Thompson said.

  2. Right 1:40. They need to leave the geese alone. If you don't want geese then by all means pack your bags and leave the area for a city.
    Only an idiot moves to what amounts to track housing on a swamp has multiple ponds and waterways and then complains about geese.
