Satellite View of Shark Bay UNESCO World Heritage Site - Australia

Handout satellite view, dated on November 26, 2025, shows the Shark Bay UNESCO World Heritage Site. Shark Bay, located on the western coast of Australia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its exceptional natural beauty, including unique marine biodiversity and one of the world's most extensive seagrass beds. The site is globally significant for its ecological processes, geological formations, and as a habitat for threatened species such as dugongs and green turtles. These fragile ecosystems are highly sensitive to changes in water quality, sea temperature, and coastal development. This Copernicus Sentinel-2 image, acquired on 26 November 2025, shows the striking coastal and marine features of Shark Bay in high resolution. The contrasting colours reveal shallow sandbanks, seagrass meadows, and hypersaline basins, as well as the arid terrestrial surroundings near Denham.

Intense Algal Bloom in The Baltic Sea - Sweden

Intense Algal Bloom in The Baltic Sea - Sweden

Handout photo dated on July 21, 2025, shows Each summer, parts of the Baltic Sea display vivid green algal blooms, triggered by sunlight, high temperatures, and abundant nutrients. This image, acquired by a Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite on 21 July 2025, shows widespread algal blooms off the coast of Sweden. The first signs of this event appeared in early July and have steadily intensified, fed by nutrient-rich runoff and a prolonged heatwave. These types of events can impact the health of local marine life and coastal ecosystems. The Copernicus Sentinel satellites and services provide essential data for monitoring algal blooms across the world. In particular, the Copernicus Marine Service delivers a range of products useful for better understanding the biogeochemical status of the ocean.
