For the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, teams of high school students participated in the 2020 National Ocean Sciences Bowl offsite link (NOSB) Finals from their own homes due to the ongoing public health response to COVID-19. Thanks to the extraordinary contributions of the NOSB staff, partners, participants, and dedicated volunteers, 19 student teams, who previously won their regional competitions, competed to test their knowledge of — and show their passion for — ocean science.
