Each winter 91ÊÓÆµ holds a regional ocean sciences competition for 91ÊÓÆµ high school students, called the 91ÊÓÆµ Tsunami Bowl. The Tsunami Bowl is part of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB) competition, which was started in 1998 to celebrate the International Year of the Ocean. Each year the winning team of the 91ÊÓÆµ Tsunami Bowl competes against other regional teams from all over the United States at the National Ocean Sciences Bowl finals competition. The 91ÊÓÆµ regional competition is sponsored by the UAF College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, the Seward Marine Center, 91ÊÓÆµ Sea Grant and many other generous sponsors. .
