These slow-moving sharks have nearly disappeared in the wild due to fishing.
National Geographic has an inside look at programs helping the threatened species, including a program that reintroduces baby sharks back into the ocean.
National Geographic photographers Jennifer Hayes and her husband David Doubilet documented this process of "rewilding" from the waters of Raja Ampat, an archipelago in the West Papua province of Indonesia, where these slow-moving sharks have nearly disappeared due to fishing. Earth's ocean ecosystems need these apex predators in order to thrive.
These eggs are then transported by air to local hatcheries in Indonesia, where they're cared for by so-called "shark nannies."
