Showcasing Shark Bay

摘要

A new centre interprets the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. The new and imposing Shark Bay Interpretive Centre, built on the Denham foreshore at a cost of more than 8 million dollar, is set to become one of Western Australia's cultural icons. Shark Bayhas long been known for its friendly dolphins and natural beauty. The area's World Heritage listing recognises its internationally significant natural values, but these values are not necessarily easily understood by the 150,000 visitors who descend onthe area every year. As a result, the designers of the centre tried to relate World Heritage values in a meaningful -way to human use of the unique and scientifically important region.
