The annual Lake Sturgeon Bowl is almost here! Hard-working high schoolers will test their knowledge of #oceanography, and winners advance to the Nat'l Ocean Sciences Bowl. Good luck, all! 🍀 Competition hosted by UWM School of Freshwater Sciences. bit.ly/3c3obZo

Happy that the regional in Michigan was the first in a nice list of non-ocean coastline regional bowls. Can't wait until we hit NOSB competitions in all 50 states!

Congratulations Margaret Lansing (NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory), 2021 recipient of the John R. (Jack) Vallentyne Award. Costumes aren't an award requirement, but in donning a buoy, she truly captures Jack's spirit in sharing a love of the Great Lakes! Thanks Margaret! bit.ly/3bi0YDj

With everything she does, we are also happy to have Margaret volunteer all these years for our event. Truly dedicated and deserving of this award.
