Congratulations to the winning teams from each of the regional bowls held this year! The NOSB is building our next generation of marine scientists, policy makers, teachers, explorers, researchers, technicians, environmental advocates, and informed community members by educating them in ocean science topics that are increasingly relevant today and into the future. In each competition, students are tested on their knowledge of ocean science disciplines through buzzer-style, multiple-choice questions and open-ended team challenge questions.
Regional bowls are taking place from the end of January to the end of March, 2024 and winners will continue to be updated here. Unfortunately, there will be no National Finals competition in 2024. The winning teams from each regional bowl will receive prizes from the National Office.
