Okinawa residents wheel their bags of “hijiki,” a type of seaweed, back to their vehicles after a successful morning of harvesting during the first day of the Hijiki Harvest March 4 on Camp Courtney, Okinawa. The first day of this year’s harvest drew more than 250 residents. Hijiki is a traditional Japanese food that is nutrient-dense and rich with iron. Many residents look forward to the Courtney harvest because hijiki is scarce in other areas of Okinawa due to overharvesting. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Royce Dorman/Released)
