About Mulberry Drupe
HCRI Final Report records Drupa morum at Kauaʻi rapid-assessment stations KARA4 and KARA5; iNaturalist records 6515330 (Salt Pond coast, 2017) and 144743144 (Poʻipū, 2022 partial shell) provide later island evidence.
WoRMS AphiaID 459085 lists Drupa morum as accepted.
KARA4 was Hoʻai Bay reef at 2.5-3 m and KARA5 Port Allen harbor-entrance reef at 5-10.5 m.
Multiple station-level Kauaʻi reef detections and accepted taxonomy verify occurrence; current-live status remains unproven.
