Shark Bay is a remote area off the coast of Western Australia. Scientists have had many opportunities to study the dolphins of Shark Bay, as these dolphins happily interact with people.
One of the reasons they wanted to observe these dolphins in particular was that it had been noted that dolphins in this area use marine sponges as tools, with the parent dolphins actively teaching their youngsters how to use them. This is quite unique among dolphin populations. Apparently, dolphins use the marine sponges for protection, using them like gloves to protect their sensitive rostrum (snout), while seeking out prey from the rocky seabed. They have also been observed using the sponges as tools to detect bottom-dwelling fish that lack swimbladders, and which cannot be detected by the dolphins' usual methods of vision and echolocation.

what type of heritage site is shark bay
No, this is a fallacy. Although dolphins and sharks do not seek each other to attack, they appear to have a mutual respect. Normally, a shark will only attack a lone dolphin, a sick dolphin or a calf that strays from its mother. In Port Phillip Bay, the large male dolphins that usually live outside the bay come inside at the beginning of October, which is the same time that the bronze whaler sharks come into the bay to mate and give birth. Male dolphins form a guard around the females and young to protect them during this time. Sharks usually keep their distance from the dolphins.
Shark Bay Marine Park was created in 1990.
The airport code for Shark Bay Airport is MJK.
The area of Shire of Shark Bay is 25,423 square kilometers.
