ReShark's StAR Project 

TJP is proud to have been a part of team to design the life support system for the StAR Project. The hope of the project is to restore the local Zebra Shark population. Recently, there has been a decline due to habitat degradation and overharvesting due to shark finning. Zebra sharks are listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

​

The life support system is location in the nursery in Raja Ampat, Indonesia. This system utilizes the beautiful natural seawater around the nursery and a flow-through life support system. Submersible pumps transfer water to a water retention tank before distrubiting to the eggs and pump tanks. Water exits the tanks via skimmers and return back into the generous ocean we borrowed it from.
