You can get copper rings that you assemble around the plant and press into the soil. They are very effective up to the point that the leaves bend over the ring and touch the surrounding soil.
I've found copper-impregnated fibrous mats to be quite effective too, but harder to prevent folds or puckers allowing ingress.

Fucking cuntfaced bastard shithead slugs have eaten all the flowers off one of my courgette plants and basically destroyed the crown. No idea if it will survive. They've also been munching the stems even though they're woody AND spiky. Courgette plant number two seems less molested, but doubt that's going to do much if only one sets flowers.
Ooooh they make me so very very mad >:(
