SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. and OCEARCH announced a multi-year partnership and have made valuable data available to both the scientific community and the general public for the first time ever in a widely-accessible format. OCEARCH's popular Global Shark Tracker will now house data on rescued, rehabilitated and returned marine animals, offering both the scientific community and the general public the ability to learn more about threatened and endangered species as they are given a second chance at life. Data on three of SeaWorld's rescued and returned animals – Gale, a pilot whale, TJ, a dolphin, and Iris, a harbor seal – can now be found at OCEARCH.org and open access will be provided to the scientific community in the near future. The SeaWorld OCEARCH partnership focuses on three key areas: Research and rescue – For the first time, OCEARCH's Global Shark Tracker will be used to monitor rescued, rehabilitated and returned marine animals, providing valuable, open-sourced data to the public. Education – Co-development of content that will educate students, while inspiring the next generation of explorers, scientists, and stewards of the ocean. Policy - Utilizing the open sourced data from sampled and tagged marine animals to advocate for the protection of marine life.
