Update: SeaWorld ended its orca breeding program thanks to public pressure — but the mission continues.

6 Ways You Can Help Protect Orcas

If you came here for our Orca Printed Scrub Tops and you’ve ever wondered what one person can do to help captive killer whales, this guide is for you.

1. Learn Their Story The more you understand about orcas in captivity, the stronger your voice becomes. Explore documentaries, articles, and reports that explain why these intelligent animals struggle in tanks and why so many people are pushing for change. Knowledge is the first step toward advocacy. 

2. Support Anti-Captivity Organizations Many nonprofit groups work every day to improve conditions for captive orcas and to move them toward sea sanctuaries. You can help by sharing their posts, joining campaigns, volunteering, or supporting their efforts in any way that fits your life. 

3. Use Your Voice in the Media Public awareness matters. Write letters to editors, share educational posts on social media, or host a small viewing of an orca documentary in your community. Every conversation helps shift public understanding. 

4. Advocate for Retirement to Sea Sanctuaries Some orcas may never be able to return to the open ocean, but many can thrive in large, protected sea pens where they can live with dignity and space. Stay connected with pro-orca groups to learn when public comments or petitions are needed. 

5. Contact Your Government Representatives Orcas are still held in captivity in several countries. You can express your concerns to agencies that oversee marine-mammal welfare and encourage stronger protections. Even one message adds to the growing pressure for change. 

6. Make Your Support Visible Whether you attend peaceful demonstrations, share educational flyers, or simply talk to friends and coworkers, your voice matters. Some supporters even buy stock in marine-park companies so they can speak at shareholder meetings. Every action — big or small — helps keep the conversation alive.
