Breed. Rescue. Protect.

By sharing the wonder and beauty of our oceans, we hope you’ll learn to love them as much as we do. SEA LIFE Orlando allows visitors to experience the ocean’s hidden marvels, and our expert staff are dedicated to, and passionate about sharing their message of conservation. In keeping with our message - BREED, RESCUE, PROTECT - we’ve developed a system of care and best-practice animal husbandry that draws on decades of collective experience from our marine biologists.

We actively breed potbelly seahorses to protect wild populations. Our baby seahorses can sometimes be seen in the Behind-the-Scenes tour.

SEA LIFE houses juvenile lake sturgeon as part of a Department of Natural Resources conservation project. Each year, these lake sturgeon are released to help repopulate lakes and rivers.

The Florida reef tract is the largest barrier reef in North America and it’s in serious trouble -- a deadly and destructive new disease that is not yet understood by scientists. It’s an ecological crisis!

We've taken in dozens of species of rescued coral increase the odds of species survival and improve genetic diversity if and when we're able to help re-populate the reef once scientists discover how to treat the disease.

Carr is a green sea turtle who was struck by a boat and found stuck in a water intake. He was rehabilitated at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center and now lives in our Ocean Tank with Benson!
