[Coral-List] Public aquaria will try to save an endangered reef shark

[Charles Delbeek]

More here on the role the US based  Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)

Curious what role the European Union of Aquarium Curators is playing as
well, as this is a managed species in their collections as well.

Also Asian aquariums in Japan and Singapore.
