Sequencia serrata

Unknown

Overview

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

Sequencia serrata faces mounting pressure from coastal development and infrastructure expansion along its narrow range of rocky intertidal zones. Ocean acidification poses an additional threat to this marine gastropod, potentially weakening its calcium carbonate shell structure. Climate-driven changes in sea temperature and storm intensity further stress populations already constrained to specific microhabitat conditions.

Threat summary

Habitat

This marine gastropod inhabits rocky intertidal zones and shallow subtidal areas along temperate coastlines. It typically occurs on hard substrates including rocky reefs, boulder fields, and artificial structures where it can attach securely in wave-exposed environments.
