Java to the south;
Sumatra to the west, and
Sulawesi to the east.
Karimata Strait to its northwest, links it to the
South China Sea.
Fishing is an important economic activity in the Java Sea. There are over 3,000 species of marine life in the area. A number of national parks exist in the area such as
Karimunjawa. The
Thousand Islands are located north of the mainland
Jakarta. The area around the Java Sea is a popular
tourist destination.
Scuba diving offers a chance to explore and photograph underwater caverns, wrecks,
