I guess this goes back to when I was a teenager! “Back in the last century. Sounds weird don’t it!”
When I was on Castle Island, South Boston. When the Police showed up and said to my friends and me you need a license to dig worms. And this stuck with me over the years. When I made this above post, I thought that it was true! So the Specialist got me wondering, and I wanted to clear this matter up.
This is what I found out about the sea worm controversy! I emailed all the departments that I have in my directory, and this was the only response I received. This is for Massachusetts. It may turn out that no permit is needed, however it may be a town by town issue.
And I thought this is something we all need to know!
Here it is!
You do not need a State permit, but may be required to purchase a town
Permit. The harvest of shellfish and sea worms is under local (town) control,
So you need to contact the shellfish warden or harbormaster of the town you
want to dig in.
