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.
