Angustassiminea infima

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Assiminea infirma faces severe pressure from coastal development and urbanization along its limited range in southeastern Australia. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to shoreline modification, pollution from urban runoff, and trampling from recreational activities. Climate change poses an additional threat through sea level rise and altered tidal patterns that could disrupt the delicate balance of its intertidal environment.
