Goals of the Sea World Education Department

Based on a long-term commitment to education, Sea World strives to provide an enthusiastic, imaginative, and intellectually stimulating atmosphere to help students and guests develop a lifelong appreciation, understanding, and stewardship for our environment.  Specifically, our goals are...

  • To instill in students and guests of all ages an appreciation for science and a respect for all living creatures and habitats.
  • To conserve our valuable natural resources by increasing awareness of the interrelationships of humans and the environment.
  • To increase students' and guests' basic competencies in science, math, and other disciplines.
  • To be an educational resource to the world.

"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
