Important populations of Vertigo angustior have been discovered in the Blyth Estuary, Suffolk, England. The habitat for the snail has been created and maintained by the presence of man-made sea walls that spread over more than 30km. This paper outlines the distribution of the species in the estuary, and its location and microhabitats in the context of the sea wall structures.
