Topic: Molluscs on the Red List

Is there any plan to implement Red List changes to the dictionary for freshwater molluscs.  When I looked up Sphaerium solidum in the JNCC Designation list in Recorder it listed its pre-1994 Red List status but not the newer one, which should list it as Critically Endangered.

Re: Molluscs on the Red List

Hi Steve

I've checked the data here and Sphaerium solidum looks OK so could you check it again? My sandbox website shows the data in my copy of the database:

We have a slight issue with the JNCC SOCC designations because the chap who maintained the list has left to do a PhD and they have passed responsibility for it over to Natural England. I don't know what plans NE have for maintaining the data.
