SHARKS in SHARK BAY! | How to Get Lost in WA Ep. 20 - Shark Bay, Monkey Mia
Are there really sharks in Shark Bay? This week we see what's below the surface and meet some friendly locals at the Ocean Park Aquarium. flightofthefox.com
Welcome back guys, and happy Wednesday. This week we are still in Denham/Monkey Mia/Shark Bay, and we thought it would be cool to check out the Ocean Park Aquarium. This Aquarium (located in Denham) is home to a large sample of all the marine life that lives in the stunning Shark Bay Marine Reserve. The aquarium is an amazing way to go for a 'dive' and see the marine life of the area without getting wet!

Shark Bay, Western Australia (UNESCO/NHK)
At the most westerly point of the Australian continent, Shark Bay, with its islands and the land surrounding it, has three exceptional natural features: its vast sea-grass beds, which are the largest (4,800 km2) and richest in the world; its dugong ('sea cow') population; and its stromatolites (colonies of algae which form hard, dome-shaped deposits and are among the oldest forms of life on earth). Shark Bay is also home to five ...

Shark Bay, Gascoyne, Western Australia
Shark Bay is a World Heritage Site, in Gascoyne, Western Australia. It is famous for its amazing sites, and for its dolphins. It is located 830 km north of Perth.
Shark Bay has some amazing landscapes. There are beautiful beaches, including Shell Beach, made entirely of shells. There are cliffs, bays and inlets. A large section of Shark Bay has been cleared of non-native wildlife and fenced off at the narrowest point to provide a conservation reserve for rare Australia wildlife. The project is called Project Eden. Many native animals have been releases including the woylie, mallee fowl, southern brown bandicoot and bilby. The Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve is home to the stromatolites, a rare and ancient form of life.
The European history of the area goes back to when Dirk Hartog, the Dutch explorer landed at Shark Bay in 1616, over 150 years before Captain Cook made his first landing at Kurnell in 1770 leading to the establishment of the British colony at Sydney 18 years later. The Dutch didn't care for the area, as it contained none of the spices or other valuables they were looking to trade or acquire. Their further visits were largely the result of being blown off course on route to the Dutch East Indies (modern day Indonesia).
Francois Peron National Park is named after a French naturalist who visited Shark Bay in 1801 and 1803. For many years it was a sheep station. The government bought it in 1990. The old homestead is now a museum.
Shark Bay is centred on the towns of Monkey My-a and Debham and is made up of Francois Peron National Park, Dirk Hartog Island, Shell Beach, Shark Bay Marine Park, Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve. It was given World Heritage status in 1991. The Shark Bay World Heritage Discover Centre is in Denham.

Francois Peron National Park Part 1/3 - Shark Bay Western Australia
My Week touring exploring and camping around Shark Bay and the Francois Peron National Park.
This is one in the EZY touring series.

From Wikipedia
Francois Peron National Park is a national park on the Peron Peninsula in Western Australia, 726 km north of Perth, and located within the boundary of the Shark Bay World Heritage area. The nearest towns to the park are Denham, which is found on the southern edge of the park and Carnarvon which is found about 80 kilometres (50 mi) to the north.
Aboriginal Australians were the initial inhabitants of the area and have been living there for over 26,000 years. The local peoples who speak the Malgana language call the area Wulyibidi.[2]
It is named after the French naturalist and explorer François Péron who was the zoologist aboard Nicolas Baudin's 1801 and 1803 scientific expeditions to Western Australia, and is situated within the bounds of the earlier pastoral lease of the Peron Station.
Locations from the French exploration era include:
Guichenault (east coast of the Peron Peninsula)
Cape Lesueur (west coast of the Peron Peninsula)
Lake Montbazin
A pearling camp was established on the peninsula at Herald Bight in the 1880s and the remains of the shells can still be found along the beach.
Used as a sheep station from the early 1900s onwards the station was sold to the state government in 1990.
It was gazetted on 8 January 1993 as a National Park – through the purchase of Peron Station (Pastoral Lease 3114/761) in 1990.

SHARK BAY SHARK SANCTUARY Project
There are 1000 World Heritage Listed National Parks in the world. 20 of them qualify for all four of the selection criteria. TWO of those are in Australia. The Great Barrier Reef and the Shark Bay World Heritage Marine Park.
Sharks are essential to the health of our marine park. As its apex predators they stop herbivores from overgrazing the sea grass meadows that is the building block of ALL life in the park. You can thank the sharks for the ten thousand healthy dugongs and twenty thousand bottlenose dolphins that call the bay home.
The local indigenous guardians of the Sharks are the Malgana and Nhanda people. They call the sharks Thaarka. Like Eddie Mabo, whose totem was the Tiger Shark, ALL the saltwater people of West Australia hold sharks as sacred. In indigenous culture sharks are respected, revered and protected.
We need to do the same.
Globally 90% of shark species are in decline making the Shark Bay World Heritage shark nursery a VITAL breeding ground for these animals that outlasted the dinosaurs. In recent years the sport of shark trophy hunting has boomed in WA. We don't mind anyone fishing for a feed, but dragging sharks up onto the beach for senseless and selfish selfies is pointless. Those that kill the large sharks to keep the teeth are killing our oceans. Those that say they practice catch and release arent much better. Fighting them for an hour damages the sharks, whose internal organs are crushed by their own weight when removed from the water. It breaks their jaws. It leaves metres and metres of trace wire and large hooks embedded in their skulls.
They then release these sharks on beaches where we take our kids swimming... Enough is enough.
Join our group as we begin a journey to BAN senseless recreational shark trophy hunters who are flooding to our region and create the LARGEST breeding sanctuary for sexually mature sharks in Australia.
