SeaWorld is celebrating World Oceans Day by offering a free gift to guests at its parks. The first 1,000 visitors at SeaWorld locations in Orlando, San Antonio, and San Diego on June 8 will receive reusable utensil sets made from wheat. This initiative is part of SeaWorld’s ongoing efforts to reduce single-use plastic pollution, following the introduction of biodegradable cutlery across its parks in 2023.
he park’s commitment to marine life conservation extends beyond World Oceans Day. A portion of SeaWorld’s proceeds is dedicated to animal rescue and conservation throughout the year. The SeaWorld Conservation Fund has provided over $20 million in grants to support nearly 1,400 conservation projects worldwide since its inception. The park also offers behind-the-scenes tours to educate visitors about its conservation efforts and contributions to scientific research.
