A participant of the Henoko Dragon Boat Races watches the opening ceremony May 25 at Matsuda-No-Hama Beach. More than 30 teams comprised of Okinawa community members, Marines and their family members participated in the 400-meter dash on the water. The boat races were traditionally performed for the god of the sea, to ask that the ocean provide an abundant harvest of seafood, and most importantly to request the safety of the fishermen.
