      RECOGNIZING VIERA HIGH SCHOOL'S OCEAN SCIENCE ACADEMIC TEAM

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Hannah Howe, 
Alyssa Hofmann, Maggie Zendehrouh, Zack Chace, and Cameron Shearer for 
qualifying to the National Ocean Sciences Bowl.
  These exceptional students from Viera High School are advancing to 
the 21st Annual National Ocean Sciences Bowl being held in Boulder, CO. 
The team previously won the Manatee Bowl, which was hosted by the 
University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric 
Science.
  This year, more than 1,500 students from 231 schools in 31 States 
competed in 23 regional National Oceans Sciences Bowl competitions. 
These five students demonstrated their knowledge of the ocean and its 
role in Earth system science during this year's theme, ``Our Ocean 
Shaping Weather,'' and proving victorious.
  I extend my best wishes to Viera High School's Ocean Science Academic 
Team and look forward to hearing of their continued success.
