    U.S. Marine Corps Col. Matthew R. Nation, commanding officer, Headquarters Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, and Shimpei Fukaya, chef for the Hijiki Harvest, shake hands during the Hijiki Harvest on Camp Courtney, Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 22, 2020. Because the base is the main location on the island where hijiki grows, U.S. and Japanese officials work together to protect it from being overharvested by harvesting only once a year. Hijiki is a type of seaweed that plays an important part of Okinawan culture and is used in many Japanese cuisines. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Kayla V. Staten)
