NOSB Award Trips

The award for the top three to four teams at the NOSB Finals is an experiential trip that provides each NOSB team with a unique hands-on field and laboratory experience in the marine sciences.  Past NOSB champions have had the opportunity to visit various marine research locations around the world including Costa Rica, Bermuda, Hawaii, Michigan, California, and Florida.  All of these experiences have been invaluable for NOSB students.
