Gypsum Lake birridas in Shark Bay
For a long time, Shark Bay is marked on the maps as Shark Bay. Today, Shark Bay is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and the number of protected unique ecosystem. There are and birridas.
So the local Aborigines called small salty lake plaster. Shark Bay - the most westerly point of Australia. Thousands of years ago, when ocean levels were much higher, these lakes have a direct connection with the ocean, bypassing the sand dunes. The ocean is gone and the lake dried up, and in their place was a layer of powdery plaster. All birridas have a circular or oval shape. They are filled with a little water only during times of strong tides and hold water in the rainy season. Few of gypsum lakes have a direct connection to the ocean, playing an important role in breeding fish.
