About Nerita picea
Bishop Museum Technical Report 29 was visually inspected and marks Nerita picea at Kauai stations Ka1 and Ka3; 2023 community observations corroborate but do not establish current status.
MolluscaBase/WoRMS AphiaID 765039 was inspected: source name Nerita picea; status accepted; accepted name Nerita picea.
The primary survey covered Kauai harbors and adjacent shallow reefs; WoRMS confirms a marine species.
The exact primary-survey row closes Kauai identity and shallow habitat, but post-cutoff evidence is community sourced and therefore cannot promote the record to CURRENT.
