ORLANDO, Fla., April 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SeaWorld proudly supports National Dolphin Day today with more than five decades of rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation of dolphins as part of its commitment to protecting marine animals and their habitats worldwide. More than 68 sick, injured, and orphaned dolphins have been helped by SeaWorld in the last six years alone, the success of which is informed by the study of animals in its care. SeaWorld has experience in caring for seven distinct species of dolphin. The diversity and expertise gained through years of experience makes it possible for 40 percent of dolphins rescued by SeaWorld to be treated on the scene and immediately released - more than any other species rescued - which has a dramatic impact on the survival rate of these animals. SeaWorld also helps protect wild populations around the world through the scientific study of animals in its care, many of which are rescued dolphins unable to be returned due to chronic health conditions. The SeaWorld commitment also extends to supporting the research of other organizations as the SeaWorld Conservation Fund has made nearly $100,000 in financial grants to dolphin conservation programs in Europe, North and South America.

Key Points:

"What we learn through the animals in our care has direct and indirect benefits to the conservation of the species.
SeaWorld experiences dramatic increases in dolphin rescues from standings out of habitat caused by flooding and intensifying storm patterns.
The studies have led SeaWorld scientists to publish many research papers of new findings into dolphin health and behaviors that help inform dolphin conservation.
