The Blue Lobster Bowl, Massachusetts' regional marine science quiz bowl, is held every spring as part of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB). During the full-day competition, teams of high school students are quizzed on their knowledge of ocean science subjects including chemistry, biology, engineering, history, ecology, climate change, and weather. The Blue Lobster Bowl includes over 100 students from as many as 15 Massachusetts high schools. The competition was founded by Woods Hole Sea Grant, and is currently in its 14th year. Blue Lobster Bowl participants are given preferential consideration when applying for MIT Sea Grant's six-week ocean science internship.
