National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB)

The National Ocean Sciences Bowl is an academic competition for high school students designed to stimulate interest in the ocean sciences.

Established in 1998, NOSB has grown to 25 regional competitions with approximately 2,000 students from almost 300 schools participating annually. NOSB has reached over 16,000 students and teachers throughout the nation, inspiring many to become the next generation of marine scientists, policy makers, teachers, explorers, technicians, and ocean advocates.

Ocean Sciences Educators Retreat (OSER)

Every two years, Ocean Leadership surveys member institutions to gather data on recruitment, admissions and retention from the nation’s leading ocean science and technology graduate programs. The data are subsequently compiled and discussed at a biennial Ocean Sciences Educators Retreat (OSER) for graduate deans and other educational administrators. At the Retreat, Ocean Leadership program administrators discuss trends and challenges in graduate level training in the ocean sciences.
