Georgia Aquarium's STAR Project: Saving the Critically Endangered Zebra Shark

Georgia Aquarium and partners are working to save the critically endangered zebra shark. The STAR Project focuses on breeding and releasing zebra sharks in Indonesia. The process involves collecting eggs from the aquarium, assessing their viability, and carefully transporting them to Indonesia. Once hatched, the young sharks are cared for in a nursery before being released into the ocean. This multi-institutional project highlights the importance of conservation efforts for endangered species and international collaboration.
