As part of a collaboration between our lab and the algal lab at Kobe University, Professor Terada and an MSc student participated in field surveys for the nationwide long-term monitoring of algal communities, which was conducted by Kobe University. During two surveys—at Awajishima Island and Takeno—dense communities of Ecklonia and Sargassum spp. were confirmed.
