Shark Bay World Heritage Site
Shark Bay World Heritage Site is located on the western coast of Australia and is known for its unique marine and terrestrial ecosystems. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991 due to its rich biodiversity, including the famous Dugong and extensive seagrass meadows, which are vital habitats for various marine species.
The area is also home to the Stromatolites, some of the oldest living fossils on Earth, found at Hamelin Pool. Shark Bay's diverse landscapes, including sandy beaches, mangroves, and salt flats, make it a significant site for both ecological research and tourism, attracting visitors from around the world.
