This article I found was posted at the beginning of this year and discusses up to date further consequences and controversy regarding the incidents that has surrounded SeaWorld's captive killer whales. Laws introduced focus on the status and how it will affect future showings.

This up to date article confirms the law restrictions and fines placed against SeaWorld by OSHA. SeaWorld responds by dropping appeal that trainers will remain outside water tank during shows. SeaWorld hoped that trainers would be back in the water with the killer whales with new tank designs that would protect trainers in case of another incident that arose.
