Goals of the SeaWorld Education Department

Based on a long-term commitment to education, SeaWorld strives to provide an enthusiastic, imaginative, and intellectually stimulating atmosphere to help students reach their academic potential. Specifically, our goals are...

"For in the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught."  - B. Dioum

The ocean and its inhabitants fascinate us, and this fascination leads to a quest for knowledge and deeper understanding.  Although it is our intent to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information available, it is possible that some of this information may change as research continues and new discoveries are made.  The nature of science is ever-changing.
