The issue

In Monkey Mia there is an outdoor aquarium named Ocean Park, being outdoors there's not really much to see there and the animal enclosures are not in glass tanks, instead they're in something without a lid that looks like touch pools, but they're not at all meant to be such especially with the harmful ones in them such as lionfish and sea snakes and other deadly sea life. The only other thing is an outdoor lagoon with sharks, which too is not something that lets you watch the animals swimming underwater and it's surprising how said lagoon has been able to care for sharks with how shallow it actually is.

Ocean Park is also the name of that iconic aquarium in Hong Kong which also comes with theme park rides, which despite the rides is still your average aquarium by having what you'd expect at aquariums, though there's also something for land animals such as giant pandas and particular kinds of Asian primates. Because of how there is already somewhere in the world with the name Ocean Park, I think that the small outdoor aquarium in Shark Bay should one of these years be given a different name to help have the place be told apart from Hong Kong's iconic location, I mean no other aquariums around the world share their names except for ones with recurring names such as SeaWorld and Sea Life.
