Teluk Bintuni, Administrative region in West Papua, Indonesia
The regency extends over 18,637 square kilometers around Bintuni Bay, separating the Bird's Head Peninsula from the Bomberai Peninsula in West Papua.
The Indonesian House of Representatives established Teluk Bintuni as an independent regency on December 11, 2002, marking its administrative separation from surrounding territories.
Seven indigenous groups inhabit the region, including the Sebyar, Wamesa, Kuri, Irarutu, Moskona, Sough, and Sumuri, maintaining their distinct customs and traditions.
The regency contains twenty-four districts, two urban communities, and 115 villages, with the town of Bintuni serving as the administrative center.
The region contains extensive mangrove forests and operates the Tangguh natural gas field, managed by British Petroleum, making it a significant energy production area.
