Eastern Seram Regency

Eastern Seram Regency spans across 5,779 square kilometers, encompassing the main island of Seram and the southeastern Gorom and Watubela archipelagos.

The establishment of Eastern Seram Regency occurred during the 1999 administrative restructuring of Maluku province to improve local governance and resource management.

The population of Eastern Seram includes Alfur, Ambonese, Bugis, and Javanese communities, who maintain their languages, traditions, and religious practices of Islam and Christianity.

Transportation between the fifteen districts relies on ferry services connecting the main island with surrounding territories, operating from the administrative center of Bula.

The regency operates under the motto 'Ila Wotu Nusa,' meaning 'We Build Regions,' reflecting its commitment to developing both mainland and island territories.
