Natuna Sea (Indonesian: Laut Natuna) is an extensive shallow sea located around Natuna Regency extended south to Lingga and Tambelan Archipelago in Riau Islands province, further south of Bangka Belitung Islands, Indonesia.[1] Most of the sea is located within Indonesian territorial waters, and geologically is the part of Sunda Shelf. This sea is bordering South China Sea to the north and northeast, Karimata Strait to the southeast, and Strait of Singapore to the west.[2][3]


Previously, this part of sea was considered as a part of South China Sea. However, in 1986 the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) officially recognizes the Natuna Sea, which extends south from the Natuna and Anambas Islands to the Belitung Islands.[4][1]
