Our Position
As a member of the zoo and aquarium industry, Sea World plays an integral role in animal conservation, threatened species recovery and breeding programs. Please see below an overview of Sea World’s position on a range of industry topics.
Taiji Drive Fisheries
Sea World does not support Taiji or any other drive fisheries and no animals at Sea World have been sourced either directly or indirectly from Taiji.
Sea World has joined international zoological associations in their protests to prevent these drives from occurring.
Historically, there were 15 villages in Japan that followed this practice and gradually they have all ceased. We hope that with education and public pressure this will follow in Taiji.
