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

[Douglas Fenner]

I see that on the IUCN Red List https://www.iucnredlist.org/ grey reef
sharks in addition to zebra sharks are listed as "endangered", while
blacktip reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, and tawny nurse sharks are
listed as "vulnerable," and the Caribbean reef shark is listed as "near
threatened."
   Cheers, Doug
