Timor Sea

The Timor Sea is a body of water located between the northern coast of Australia and the southern coast of the island of Timor, which is part of Southeast Asia. It is rich in natural resources, especially oil and natural gas, making it a significant area for energy exploration and development. The sea covers approximately 250,000 square kilometers and plays a crucial role in the regional economy and geopolitics. Its maritime boundaries involve complex negotiations between Australia, Indonesia, and East Timor, especially since East Timor gained independence in 2002.
