Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on worm diggers who are pushing for legislation to ban the practice of dragging intertidal zone for mussels. Last year, Tom Atherton of Bucksport filed a petition proposing to ban intertidal dragging. But the Department of Marine Resources searched for a compromise and when an agreement was reached, the issue died. The compromise didn't work, however, and Ted Creaser, a retired worm biologist, said it's never going to work. Worm diggers will meet with legislators and the commissioner of Marine Resources next month to discuss the issue.
