To fill this void, the Consortium for Ocean Leadership, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., created the NOSB as an educational forum to encourage and support the next generation of marine scientists, policy-makers, teachers, explorers, researchers, technicians, environmental advocates, and informed citizens to be stewards of the ocean. Many past NOSB participants have pursued college degrees and careers in ocean science, helping to solve the growing environmental, economic, and security challenges facing our ocean and planet.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, approximately 1,845 students \u2014 making up 369 teams from 272 schools \u2014 participated.<\/p>\n<p>The 2016 national NOSB program is made possible through the following major sponsors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/li>\n<li>Office of Naval Research<\/li>\n<li>Wendy &amp; Eric Schmidt<\/li>\n<li>Deerbrook Charitable Trust<\/li>\n<li>IEEE Ocean Engineering Society<\/li>\n<li>Bureau of Ocean Energy Management<\/li>\n<li>National Aeronautics and Space Administration<\/li>\n<li>Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation<\/li>\n<li>Eastman Chemical Company<\/li>\n<li>The Curtis &amp; Edith Munson Foundation<\/li>\n<li>Shell Exploration &amp; Production Company<\/li>\n<li>Wells Fargo<\/li>\n<li>Rapp Marine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See a full list of sponsors <a href=\"https:\/\/nosb.org\/2022-finals-competition\/#sponsors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">###<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><em>North Carolina Sea Grant: Your link to research and resources for a healthier coast<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winning teams consisting of four to five high school students from 24 regional competitions will compete in the 19th Annual National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB), an education competition that tests students\u2019 knowledge of ocean-related topics, which include cross-disciplines of biology, chemistry, policy, physics, and geology.
