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.
Situated within the Shark Bay Marine Park, [2] it has been identified as a critical dugong habitat area. [3] Nevertheless the estuary has been dredged as part of works related to the Shark Bay Salt Joint Venture. [4]
