The IMMWHA was formed in 2014 as an industry advocacy group to give Maine's marine worm harvesters a voice in deciding the future direction of their industry in the face of the political and management challenges facing all industries reliant on Mainers tidal and oceanic resources. Our mission statement is as follows, 1.To ensure equitable access to the marine worm resource held in trust by the st

ate of Maine to all Maine residents regardless of the geographic location of said residency,for both commercial and recreational use. 2. To foster a more meaningful working relationship between worm harvesters and the Department Of Marine Resources,thereby creating fertile ground for enhancement of the worm industry. 3. To ensure a strong voice against the encroachment of pseudo worm harvest managements through other marine resource species management groups. 4. To ensure changes legislative, rule or policy deemed restrictive to marine worm harvesting be based on proven,unbiased science only.
