The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) defines the Gulf of Tomini as being one of the divisions of the East Indian Archipelago.[2] It is defined as the waters west of the "Western limit of the Molukka Sea",[1] which is elsewhere defined as the line running from "Tg. Pasir Pandjang (0°39′S 123°25′E)... across to Tg. Tombalilatoe (123° 21′ E) on the opposite coast".[3]
