From left, U.S. Marine Corps Col. Matthew R. Nation, commanding officer, Headquarters Battalion (HQBN), 3rd Marine Division (3rd MARDIV), Shimpei Fukaya, chef for the Hijiki Harvest, Thomas R. Rary III, camp director, Camp Courtney, and Sgt. Maj. Spencer E. Scott, sergeant major, HQBN, 3rd MARDIV, pose for a group photo 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)
