SeaWorld San Diego Debuts a
One-of-a-Kind Wonder: Jewels of the Sea – The Ultimate Jellyfish Experience!
The largest standalone jellyfish exhibit in the country and a must-see in Southern California
Starting today, visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the mesmerizing world of jellyfish, in this groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind attraction at SeaWorld Parks. Jewels of the Sea showcases the enchanting beauty, fascinating biology, and mysterious allure of these otherworldly animals.
Designed
to be both captivating and educational, Jewels of the Sea offers visitors a
unique opportunity to explore a variety of jellyfish species through engaging,
interactive exhibits. The experience features three distinct galleries, each
offering a unique perspective on jellyfish and showcasing the variety of jelly
species and their locations from the shallow levels of ocean to the deep
unknown. Guests begin their journey with an introduction to the fascinating world
of jellies, answering key questions about their stings, life cycle, and
anatomy. The murals on the walls will guide guests from shallow mangrove
forests, where upside-down jellies live, through coral reefs, and into a deep
ocean trench, symbolizing deeper exploration.
The
exhibit opens with nine unique varieties of jellies species displayed through
over 15 aquariums. Highlights include one of the largest jellyfish cylinders in
the country, a cascading water globe filled with jellyfish, and a fully interactive
LED gallery that brings the wonders of the ocean to life. Throughout Jewels of
the Sea, the wall corners are rounded to symbolize the flow of ocean currents.
The lighting pulses from the arch to the cylinder tank, mimicking the movement
of jellies in ocean currents.
The
exhibit provides a deep dive into the jellyfish life cycle, anatomy, and
conservation – one of the key reasons SeaWorld San Diego chose to create this
experience. The exhibit also underscores SeaWorld's commitment to marine
education and the preservation of ocean ecosystems.
In
conjunction with the exhibit's grand opening and to highlight the crucial role
that jellyfish play in understanding ocean health, SeaWorld partnered with Washed
Ashore, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ocean
conservation to present a powerful new art installation. Located just outside
Jewels of the Sea, the life-sized Lion's Mane Jellyfish sculpture,
made entirely from upcycled marine debris, serves as a striking reminder of the
devastating impact of plastic pollution on marine life. Crafted from discarded
materials like ropes, plastic bottles, and foam buoys, the sculpture stands as
a symbol of the urgent need to reduce waste and protect our oceans.
"We're
thrilled to introduce Jewels of the Sea, a
one-of-a-kind experience where guests can witness the breathtaking beauty of
jellyfish like never before.” said Tyler Carter, Park President of SeaWorld San
Diego. “This exhibit not only celebrates these captivating creatures but also
highlights their critical role in ocean ecosystems. The Washed Ashore sculpture
amplifies the message of ocean conservation and encourages all of us to reflect
on how we can help reduce ocean pollution.”
“Lion's
Mane Jellies are the largest of jellyfish in the world, but their size can't
prevent them from the impacts of ocean plastic pollution. Sea creatures of all
sizes are being harmed when they mistake microplastics for food or become
entangled in this marine debris,” said Brad Parks, Conservation Education
Director, Washed Ashore. “We hope this sculpture and all the amazing animals at
SeaWorld San Diego inspire every guest to do just one thing to help reduce
plastic consumption and pollution, protecting wild places and the wildlife that
depends on clean oceans to survive.”
To
further enhance the experience, SeaWorld is offering the exclusive Jelly
Up-Close Tour. This behind-the-scenes journey provides guests with a closer
look at SeaWorld's jellyfish propagation program, along with an opportunity for
hands-on interactions with these fascinating creatures in an educational
setting.
