2006 NOSB Teams

Alaska Region National Ocean Sciences Bowl

The following high schools intended to compete in the 9th annual Alaska regional competition in Seward on 10–12 February 2006. Asterisks (*) denote returning coaches and students. Multiple asterisks signify multiple years' participation. A times sign plus number means too many asterisks to count. Avalanches closed the road to Seward and prevented Angoon, Cordova, Skyview, Soldotna, and Unalaska from competing in Juneau.
