At SeaWorld, we’re challenging YOU to save our friends! Did you know that the SeaWorld rescue team brings animals in every day to be treated for implications due to the plastic in our waters? Plastic straws, bottles shopping bags, and anything else made of plastic are serious threats to ocean wildlife. More than 8 million tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean every day. Our aquatic friends can mistake plastic for food, which causes great harm to their health. They can also get tangled up in plastic objects, which can cause them major discomfort or even make them drown. The question we run into is how can we prevent this? Well by avoiding single-use plastic straws, shopping bags, and other unnecessary plastic items we can help save the lives of our animal friends who call the ocean their home. That’s why all 12 of our parks have opted for reusable options. Think you’re up for the challenge? You can do it!
