A Shark Eggs Journey to the Ocean!

From the creator

Zebra shark populations in the wild have drastically declined due to habitat loss and depletion from the shark fin trade. This species is now listed as “Endangered” on the IUCN Red List. The StAR Project, led by the West Papua Provincial Government and the Research and Innovation Agency of Indonesia, seeks to reestablish a healthy population of zebra sharks by bringing aquarium-bred egg cases to hatcheries in protected areas of Raja Ampat. There, the sharks will be properly reared and tagged for release. The proven success of breeding paired with the husbandry expertise of accredited aquariums, like Georgia Aquarium, is critical in the recovery of this species. Don’t miss this unforgettable journey from the aquarium to the deep blue sea!
