Satellite View of Shark Bay UNESCO World Heritage Site - Australia

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.

Pellet Cleaning Continues In Galician Sandbanks

Volunteers make a collection of pellets from the sand, Galicia, January 7, 2024, in A Coruña, Galicia (Spain). Large quantities of plastic pellets have been appearing, since December 13 in the Rias Baixas and in the estuary of Muros de Noia in more than 70 bags of about 25 kilos, with the name of the company Bedeko Europe based in Poland. This has been reported by the Noia Limpa Association, which has detailed that the loss of goods from six containers of the ship Tocomao, registered with IMO number 9627899 and flagged Liberia, near Viana do Castelo, in Portugal, was reported. Pellets are small plastic balls of less than five millimeters that are used to manufacture plastic products, because of their small size and light weight, it is "almost impossible to clean them up" once they are spread on the beaches.
