Southwest Maluku, Administrative region in Maluku, Indonesia.
Southwest Maluku encompasses numerous islands in the Maluku Province, including Moa, Damer, Babar Islands, and Pulau Leti, covering 4,581 square kilometers.
The region separated from Maluku Tenggara Regency in 2008, transforming from eight administrative districts to seventeen districts by 2015.
The inhabitants of Southwest Maluku maintain traditional practices across multiple islands, with fishing communities preserving local maritime traditions.
Transportation between the islands requires careful planning, as maritime connections link the administrative centers of Tiakur on Moa Island and Wonreli on Kisar Island.
The waters surrounding Southwest Maluku contain extensive marine biodiversity, supporting local fishing industries and providing sustenance for island communities.
