The NOSB mission is to enrich science teaching and learning across the United States through a high-profile national competition that increases high school students' knowledge of the oceans and enhances public understanding and stewardship of the oceans. Four Primary Objectives: 1. Develop knowledgeable ocean stewards that understand the ocean’s impact on daily life and the importance of scientific research; 2. Foster the use of the ocean as an interdisciplinary vehicle to teach science and mathematics and encourage the inclusion of the ocean sciences in curricula; 3. Encourage and support the involvement of under-represented and geographically diverse communities in the ocean sciences; and 4. Provide students interactive education that develops critical thinking and skills for the workforce and exposes them to ocean science professionals and career opportunities.
