Commitment to Animal Rescue, Rehabilitation & Return

SeaWorld has come to the aid over 40,000 ill, injured and orphaned animals in need. Available 24/7/365, the dedicated team of animal care, veterinary and animal rescue experts will always answer the call to help an animal.

SeaWorld's legacy of animal rescue spans more than 50 years. In that time, SeaWorld’s Animal Rescue Teams have helped rescue more than 40,000 sick, injured and orphaned animals in need. None of this would be possible without the continued support of our partner agencies, park guests, Pass Members, and dedicated ambassadors, as well as the people across the globe taking action to protect these amazing animals and their habitats. Our teams are on call 24/7/365, partnering with multiple government agencies, conservationists, stranding networks, zoological facilities and others to rescue and help animals in need of care, always with the goal of rehabilitating them and returning them to the wild.
