Snails and Slugs

Please also see the Interagency Special Status and Sensitive Species Program (ISSSSP) website for additional species information.

Some Survey and Manage species also have or had Sensitive species status or have information compiled by the Interagency Special Status and Sensitive Species Program (ISSSSP). Please navigate to the ISSSSP website, for survey protocols, field guides, inventory reports, and conservation planning documents (that provide habitat information, site management guidance, and more). These documents include the best available scientific information to utilize when applying the 2001 Survey and Manage standards and guidelines to determine survey needs and site management.

Please note that the most efficient way to have all available documents result from your query is to "Search By Taxonomy" and select "Invertebrates – Slugs and Snails (Class Gastropoda)". Or if you are interested in one species, "Search by Species (Scientific)", select taxonomy group "Invertebrates – Slugs and Snails (Class Gastropoda)", and submit query. Then select the species scientific name, and then select "All Documents". In addition, you should query "General: Multi-species – Slugs and Snails – No Common Name)" and "Terrestrial Mollusks (No Common Name)" to check if the species queried is included in a document with multiple species.
