AbstractBait worm collection has occurred on British shores for hundreds of years both recreationally and commercially in two main forms, the manual digging for worms and the dragging of bait hooks from a vessel. In order to assess the need for management of bait dragging against conservation features for Poole Harbour European Marine Site (EMS) a robust assessment of effort is required along with evidence on the impact of this activity.
