Henri Freycinet Harbour
Bay in Western Australia
Henri Freycinet Harbour, also known as Freycinet Estuary, is one of the inner gulfs of Shark Bay, Western Australia, a World Heritage Site that lies to the west of the Peron Peninsula.[1]
It has a significantly larger number of islands than Hamelin Pool, and has a number of smaller peninsulas known as "prongs" on its northern area. It has also been identified as a critical dugong habitat area.[2]
It is situated within the Shark Bay Marine Park.[3]
The estuary has been dredged as part of works related to the Shark Bay Salt Joint Venture.[4]
