SeaWorld Entertainment has announced plans to build new killer whale environments and that it will also fund new programmes to protect ocean health and killer whales in the wild.
The first of the new environments, dubbed the Blue World project, will be built at SeaWorld San Diego where the killer whale environment will have a total water volume of 10 million gallons, nearly double that of the existing facility. With a planned maximum depth of 50 feet, surface area of nearly 1.5 acres and spanning more than 350 feet in length, the new environment will also have views exceeding 40 feet in height, providing guests with the world’s largest underwater viewing experience of killer whales.
As part of its vision for the future, the company also pledged US$10 million in match funding for killer whale research and is embarking on a multi-million dollar partnership focused on ocean health, the leading concern for all killer whales and marine mammals.
