We invite you to soak in the good times with your loved ones this summer season at Universal Orlando Resort, LEGOLAND ® Florida Resort, SeaWorld® Parks & Resorts™ Orlando, and the Walt Disney World® Resort.

RISING TIDES: SAFEGUARDING MARINE LIFE FOR THE FUTURE
Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) announced a multi-year plan of expansion that will forge a path toward a future where the harmony between humanity and the oceans is not just a vision, but a reality.
Named Rising Tides, the comprehensive forward-looking campaign encompasses strategies to welcome new wildlife, create habitats and launch global conservation efforts. With this expansion, CMA’s capacity will increase to continue to answer the call of marine animals in need.
This campaign will allow CMA to welcome many new marine ambassadors, including manatees, dolphins, sea lions, sharks and penguins.
The first addition, The Manatee Rehabilitation Center will allow CMA to accept the influx of manatees in need of critical care. CMA stands as a beacon of excellence in manatee research and rescue operations, pioneering breakthroughs and saving lives.
Each of the remarkable creatures coming to CMA carries its own compelling conservation narrative. By expanding the number of animals in its care and creating new habitats, CMA will not only enrich the guest experience but also provide a platform to educate future generations about marine life, conservation and groundbreaking research specific to each species.
The aquarium is also embarking on a significant renovation and expansion
of the animal hospital with visibility to guests who can witness life-saving care in real time. CMA is proud to house a fully functioning animal hospital onsite, providing immediate and essential care for animals facing life-threatening situations.
Inspired by the adage that rising tides lift all boats, the “Rising Tides” campaign embodies the collective efforts to protect marine life for future generations. Together, help CMA be the rising tides of change, the guardians of the oceans and the champions of marine conservation.
CMA will be able to welcome penguins.
