Sharks are among the most famous and popular of aquarium residents. As a group, they also represent some of the most endangered species in the oceans. Unlike many terrestrial species kept in zoos, many species of shark don't reproduce especially reliably. Fortunately, one of the species that does breed well is the endangered zebra shark. I recently learned about the organization ReShark, which is dedicated to rewildling the world's oceans and rebuilding crashed shark populations. The zebra shark reintroduction project in Indonesia is an exciting early project from this group.
