Salmon Bowl

On behalf of the Consortium for Oceanographic Research and Education, the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University invites your high school to participate in the seventh annual National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB). The NOSB is a tournament-style academic competition designed to challenge and recognize students' knowledge of math, science, and social science in the context of the oceans.

Motivated and hard-working high school students who have an interest in learning about the oceans and who excel in math and science participate and are supported by teachers, parents, and coaches.

Patterned on the National Science BowlR, the National Ocean Sciences Bowl was inaugurated in 1998 to provide a forum for students who excel in math and science to receive national recognition for their diligence and talent while broadening their awareness and understanding of the oceans.

The NOSB is a one-day regional competition and two-day final national competition among high school teams, which are composed of four students, one alternate and a coach. Categories include the biology, chemistry, geology, physics, history, and economics of the world's oceans, as well as navigation, geography, and ocean-related current events. The regional competitions follow a rapid-fire, question-and-answer format.
