The team told their 2018 Blue Heron Bowl story in a <a href=\"http:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/currents\/2018\/04\/diving-into-the-national-ocean-sciences-bowl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post<\/a> for N.C. Sea Grant\u2019s <em>Coastwatch Currents<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Heron Bowl is a regional marine science quiz bowl. Two teams, each composed of four students and one alternate, square off against each other to answer questions related to marine science. Many of these students are coached by a marine science or general science teacher who sponsors their training. Each match consists of six minutes of toss-up and bonus questions, followed by two team challenge questions, and ends with a final six minutes of toss-up and bonus questions. North Carolina Sea Grant is proud to be a long-time supporter of the Blue Heron Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>The NCSSM team went on to the national competition, which took place April 19 to 22, in Boulder, Colorado, but did not place in the top eight finishers.
