The establishment of the technical working group (TWG) on the Giant African Snail was a decision of the Caribbean Plant Health Directors (CPHD) at their first meeting, convened at the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat Headquarters in George Town Guyana on April 23-25, 2008. This working group was to be one of five such groups established as an initial step in the formation of a regional network regarding plant health. The TWG name was changed from the TWG on Giant African Snail to the TWG on Molluscs, to incorporate all Molluscs of Economic Importance in 2010.
