ORLANDO, Fla., June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today SeaWorld celebrates World Oceans Day with a free gift for parks guests while supplies last and a chance to win a free annual pass. Celebrating at SeaWorld lets guests become part of the cause for marine life conservation as a portion of proceeds from the parks goes toward animal rescue and conservation all year long. To honor the importance of conserving the world's oceans and animals, SeaWorld is offering free reusable tote bags to the first 1,000 guests who enter each of its Orlando, San Antonio, and San Diego parks today. This reusable bag 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.

"At SeaWorld, every day is World Oceans Day," said Marisa Thalberg, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer for SeaWorld. "Today, we honor the spirit of the day by encouraging our guests to keep our oceans free of plastic by reusing their SeaWorld totes instead of single use bags. We know too that SeaWorld has been an icon in celebrating and educating our guests on marine animal life and conservation for generations. We cannot wait to see our fans engage at the parks and through their online communities to learn more about ocean preservation on this important day."

SeaWorld is inviting guests to share a photo on social media today for a chance to win an annual pass to the park. SeaWorld fans are encouraged to post on social media their favorite SeaWorld animal experience photo tagging @SeaWorld and using #WorldOceansDay and #Sweepstakes on social. SeaWorld will surprise three lucky guests with an annual pass enabling them to create more memories and learn more about their favorite marine animals all year long. See here for official rules and details.

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 400 peer reviewed scientific articles and books. The non-profit SeaWorld Conservation Fund, now in its 20^th year, has provided more than $20 million in grants to 1,400 organizations across all seven continents, all focused on marine animal and ecosystem conservation.
