San Diego CA— Here is a list of promotions and events at SeaWorld for September 2016:
Sea Otter Awareness Week: SeaWorld^® San Diego is proud to participate in the celebration of Sea Otter Awareness Week, Sept. 18–24. Activities will include daily sea otter presentations, which take place at the park’s Otter Outlook habitat next to Dolphin Point. Other festivities include craft projects for kids and visits from animal ambassadors and O.P. Otter^®, the costume character. At Otter Outlook, SeaWorld currently cares for five sea otters, all taken in through the Sea Otter Research and Conservation program at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The California sea otter is listed as a threatened species by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Threats include oil spills, entanglement in fishing nets and diseases.
