How to preserve a colony of terns in Sečovlje Salina against a numerous population of Hooded Crows and other aerial predators?

At the end of the last century, the Hooded Crow was not a common bird in Sečovlje pans. Since then, however, the population of these birds increased tremendously. They live and nest on the edge of the saltpans, in areas where a growing number of human waste provides them with plenty of food. This was not the case in the past as the harsh winters decimated their population. Today, there are also less natural predator of crows, mainly hawks, which naturally regulated the crow population.
