Goals of the Sea World Education Department:

Based on a long-term commitment to education, Sea World strives to provide an enthusiastic, imaginative, and intellectually stimulation atmosphere to help students reach their academic potential. Specifically, our goals are...

• To instill in students of all ages an appreciation for science and a respect for all living creatures and natural environments.
  
• To conserve our valuable natural resources by increasing awareness of the interrelationships of humans and the marine environment.
  
• To increase students' basic competencies in science and other disciplines.
  
• To provide an educational resource for the entire community.

" For in the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught . " - B. Dioum.
