2006 Otter Bowl
Otter Bowl 2006
What is Otter Bowl? Otter Bowl, in Monterrey, CA, is a regional
competition of the NOSB (National Oceanographic Science Bowls). The
winning team of Otter Bowl goes on to fight the fifteen other regional
champions in the Nationals. The questions that can be asked are
practically limitless, as they need only involve the ocean in some slight
way to be applicable. Because of the me and my four team mates have
been studying everything from Benthic Epifauna to Gidget surf movies
for the past three years (when I joined the team). Although NOSB rules
strictly prohibit any photographing during the competitions I have gotten three good photos from their web site, I also have lots of photos from the trip, including a very cool tour of Stanford's
Hopkins Marine Laboratory, next door to the Monterrey Aquarium. For more information please visit www.NOSB.org

Fog creeping in over the Pacific coast Hwy
THAT is what we study
The night before, Steven puts on some mood music as Eileen studies away
Morning of, everyone is feeling a bit blurry at 6:45 am
We're a mean looking bunch
A great shot of us working on a team question
One of the few pictures that makes me look rather smart
Us at the semi finals (we're the good looking bunch competing on the left)
a pretty bad team picture (we thought we might look less odd and more like a fish... but you cant win them all)
Yay! 3rd - for how many years in a row? (4)
Emily at the Monterey Bay Aquarium
Our tour of the Stanford research lab next door to the aquarium - we're led by the wonderful Dr. Christian
Harbor
seals amid the rocks. note the wonderfully visible layers of muscles
and then Algae on the rocks (The seals are the same dark color of the
muscles/algae when wet, and then when they dry they are the same color
at the bare rocks)
the research lab has a small deer heard that hangs out - during fall
(mating) and spring (fawns) they will go so far as to chase scientists
away from their parts of the buildings
As this picture illustrates, Marine biologist have always been good looking and gender diverse
The
Chinese village that used to be on the now current site of the research
lab - it burnt down and the railroad Barron prevented it from being
re-built, so to save PR face he donated the land to science. Some very old and poorly maintained samples (they don't use formaldehyde anymore, and no one feels like changing the alcohol)
an old professor teaching the legendary course called 'invertebrates' -
it was legendary because invertebrates make up 90% of all life on
earth... and he still did a good job.
a whale vertebra and half a Jaw
This hole in the jaw bone is where nerves come out to connect to the whale lips and chin - the hole is the size of my finger!
that is the top half of a wale skull
this is a sardine flat - back when Monterey Bay still had Sardines
these would float out in the bay. the large ships would come up to them
and dump all of their sardines in tot hem - then large suction tubes
would carry the sardines from them under the watter straight in tot he
canneries - it was a process so efficient there are currently NO
sardines left in Monterrey
