Shedd Aquarium has sent four zebra shark eggs to Raja Ampat, Indonesia, as part of a conservation effort to boost wild populations of the endangered species. This marks the first delivery of eggs by Shedd to the region, supporting the StAR Project, which focuses on breeding and releasing zebra sharks into protected waters. The eggs are being cared for by local teams at the Raja Ampat Research and Conservation Center (RARCC), where they will be monitored until they hatch. Once the pups mature, they will be tagged and released into the ocean after undergoing training in controlled environments. Shedd has previously sent experts to assist with the project and plans to continue sending eggs if viable ones are available.
