CoML Collaborates with NOSB for Annual Competition
The National Ocean Sciences Bowl collaborated with CoML on this year's competition themed "Biodiversity." The NOSB team worked with CoML to develop questions for this years competition.
As well, there was the 2009 National Ocean Sciences Bowl “Living on the Ocean Planet” Video Contest, sponsored by the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB) and the Census of Marine Life. The contest hoped to inspire high school students to create a two minute video that used biodiversity principles to increase general ocean science awareness among family, friends and the public.
