Natuna Regency

Description

Natuna Regency is an islands regency located in the northernmost part of the Province of Riau Islands, Indonesia. This archipelago, with a land area of 1,983.90 km2 out of a total area of 264,198.37 km2 area, is divided into island clusters such as the Natuna Island Cluster and the Serasan Island Cluster. However, several other islands that are not located in the two clusters are spread over a wider area. This division reflects the geographical and administrative location of the district, but there are also other small islands that are outside these two main clusters and are not always included in the grouping. Administratively, this area is divided into 17 districts (kecamatan) which function to facilitate management and services for the local community and support the development of the potential of the region which is rich in natural resources and tourism. This regency also plays an important role in maintaining Indonesia's sovereignty in the northern border area, bordering on the South China Sea.
