Sustainable Fish for Animal Ambassadors
SeaWorld is dedicated to healthy food sources for all of the animals at SeaWorld, Aquatica and Discovery Point. The SeaWorld team is committed to sustainable sourcing of fish fed to the fish-eating (piscivorous) animals. This includes purchasing food from responsibly managed fisheries that we closely review for nutritional quality and safety. SeaWorld avoids purchasing fish that have been caught or farmed in ways that harm other marine life or the environment.
Meet our trainers who care for our animal ambassadors, to learn about our commitment to ethical and sustainable food preparation.

Sustainable Food Sourcing and Humane Farming
As part of our efforts to inspire our guests to protect the world we live in, SeaWorld is dedicated to responsible food sourcing. As part of that policy, we commit to only provide humanely raised and sustainably harvested food at SeaWorld, Aquatica and Discovery Point. Here are a few of the commitments our company has made towards sustainable and humane food sourcing:
- A continuing commitment to serving seafood sourced from either sustainably managed fisheries or aquaculture in all park restaurants;
- Expand park menus to include more plant-based options for guests.
- A commitment to source produce from local farms when and where possible.
- A commitment to sustainably source all coffee served to our guests and ambassadors.
- A commitment to purchase all commodity pork cuts, such as ribs and loins, from suppliers who have announced a commitment to humane farming practices like those who have published targets for conversion to group sow housing.
- All eggs, including shell and liquid eggs, will be sourced from cage-free chickens by the end of 2017.
