This symposium focused on introducing promising cooperation projects between Japan and Alaska and looking forward to promoting cooperation in the future, and during the Q&A session following the presentations by each speaker, participants were enthusiastic about the possibilities for further cooperation, and many positive comments were received in the zoom chat. In particular, many positive opinions were expressed during the presentations and Q&A sessions in the fields of submarine cables, seafood trade, seaweed farming, and community activities.
