The National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB®) is an academic competition that tests high school students knowledge of the marine sciences including biology, chemistry, physics, and geology.

When the ocean science team from Dexter, Michigan learned their prize for taking 4th place in the 2008 National Ocean Sciences Bowl would be a four-day tour of their home state, the irony was not lost on them.
