Every day is World Oceans Day at SeaWorld as a
portion of park proceeds goes directly toward animal rescue and
conservation all year long
First 1,000 guests arriving at each U.S. park
today will be gifted a free reusable utensil set to help combat
single use plastic pollution; SeaWorld launched biodegradable
cutlery across its parks nationwide in 2023
ORLANDO,
Fla., June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SeaWorld is
celebrating World Oceans Day with a free gift for parks guests
while supplies last. Celebrating at SeaWorld lets guests become
part of the cause for marine life conservation all year long as a
portion of proceeds from the parks goes toward animal rescue and
conservation. To honor the importance of conserving the world's
oceans and animals, SeaWorld is offering free reusable, wheat-based
utensil sets to the first 1,000 guests who enter each of its
Orlando, San Antonio and San
Diego parks on June 8. This
reusable utensil set is the latest way guests can join SeaWorld in
its continued effort to combat single use plastic pollution.
SeaWorld was one of the first theme parks in the U.S. to eliminate
single use plastic bags and straws to help keep oceans free of
plastic, and the parks launched biodegradable cutlery across its
parks nationwide in 2023.
"Throughout our 60-year history, we have been and continue to be
committed to creating exciting and immersive experiences that help
inspire guests of all ages to protect animals and the wild wonders
of our world. World Oceans Day is a great reminder of the power we
all have to make a positive impact on conservation," said
Marc Swanson, Chief Executive
Officer of United Parks & Resorts Inc.
A visit to SeaWorld is one way the public can get involved in
the conservation of the world's oceans. SeaWorld is one of the
largest marine animal rescue organizations in the world and guests
can go behind the scenes to learn more about this important work.
The parks make it possible for SeaWorld to continue to make
meaningful contributions to science through the study of animals in
our care and field research. Those efforts have resulted in the
publication of more than 450 peer reviewed scientific articles and
books. The non-profit SeaWorld Conservation Fund, now in its 20th
year, has provided more than $20
million in grants to nearly 1,400 organizations across all
seven continents, all focused on marine animal and ecosystem
conservation.
To learn more about how you can participate in World Oceans Day
at SeaWorld parks and check out special offers on tickets and
passes, guests are invited to check out the park's local webpages –
