Criteria

Question 1: Does species need conservation or recovery in England?
Response: Yes
Justification: Distributed along the south west coast of England (as well as Wales and Ireland). Rarity may in part be due to habitat limitations (rocky crevices in the intertidal area) and the difficulty in surveying them.
Question 2: Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions?
Response: No
Justification: Not at risk of extinction in England
Question 3: At a landscape scale, would the species benefit from untargeted habitat management to increase habitat mosaics, structural diversity, or particular successional stages?
Response: No
Justification: Species requires un-modified coastline.
