The UNC-Chapel Hill Institute of Marine Sciences, in concert with local business Seahorse Coastal Consulting, are hosting this event. Co-sponsors include North Carolina Sea Grant, NC Biotechnology Center, Discovery Diving, Mid-Atlantic Marine Education Association and Duke University Marine Laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>Twelve teams of high school students from across the state will participate in a day-long quiz bowl focusing on all things marine science. The theme of this year\u2019s competition is \u201cOur Changing Oceans: Science for Strong Coastal Communities.\u201d Students will be challenged to tackle complex questions dealing with topics such as coastal erosion and restoration, water quality, coastal hazards, and policy implications of coastal planning.<\/p>\n<p>Over 50 local scientists from UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, NC&#160;State University, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will act as volunteers and judges for this event. Participating schools listed by county, include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alamance<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Walter M.
