When a child looks at an orca, (or a bottlenose dolphin, or any other marine life) at an aquarium, or marine park, they have just gotten a perspective of life in the ocean. For example, they might grow up appreciating marine life, they might clean up beaches, help a stranded dolphin, rescue a seal pup, or even recycling. It will make a huge appreciation with marine life.

Keeping animals in captivity is good for conservation. If endangered animals are brought into captivity they once again will have a chance to breed unharmed therefore producing more animals to be released into the wild thus improving the population of that species. In other simpler words, it makes more animals so they don't die off.
