Help Shape the Future of Spotted Eagle Ray Managed Care

Join us for a dedicated workshop focused on advancing the management of spotted eagle rays in public aquaria. Facilitated by Dr. Linda Penfold of SEZARC (Southeast Zoo Alliance for Reproduction and Conservation), this workshop brings together professionals to develop best practices and contribute to the AZA SSP program Spotted Eagle Ray Care Manual.

This workshop will drive collaborative discussions that shape the standards for spotted eagle ray care and culminate in a comprehensive care manual for the species.

For questions or additional information, please contact the workshop team at eaglerayprofs@georgiaaquarium.org.
