The Japan-Canada Comprementarity Study was born in 1989 derived from the Japan-Canada Agreement on Cooperation in Science and Technology in 1986. Several workshops were held in Japan and Canada in 1990 and 1992 to develop the joint project to evaluate the role of the Arctic Ocean as a sink of CO_2 involving ice physics, hydrodynamics and biological production. The SARES project, Saroma Ko and Resolute Passage Study, was lounched on the first-year ice of Saroma Ko lagoon (Northern Hokkaido, Japan) and of Resolute Passage (Northwest Territories, Canada) during the winter and spring of 1992. The two sites were chosen due to their contracted characteristics, such as geographical location, sea ice feature, oceanographic conditions. The project involved 25 Japanese and 30 Canadian scientists, graduate students and technicians, from 12 different institutions in Japan and 7 different institutions in Canada. The sixteenth Symposium on Polar Biology was held at National Institute of Polar Research, Tokyo in December 1993, to synthesize the scientific achievement of the SARES project.
