What is HSWRI’s relationship to SeaWorld?
Hubbs was founded 40 years ago by the same people who founded SeaWorld, Inc. As a result of our founder’s vision, HSWRI enjoys a unique partnership with SeaWorld and its parent companies, Busch Entertainment Corporation and Anheuser-Busch. HSWRI scientists have access to the world-class zoological collections of SeaWorld and Busch Gardens to conduct research that can help threatened species and wild populations. In many cases, this research would be difficult or impossible to conduct in the wild. Many people confuse HSWRI and SeaWorld because we share the globally recognized and respected SeaWorld name. HSWRI is an independent non-profit organization. Sea World supports HSWRI by providing annual donations and research facilities at SeaWorld Orlando and SeaWorld San Diego. SeaWorld supports the Institute because our scientific research is a valuable and important part of SeaWorld’s mission. HSWRI is one of many not-for-profit organizations supported by SeaWorld, Busch Entertainment Corp
