Кіріспе
Индонезиядағы бірнеше шағын теңіздердің бірі – Серам теңізі немесе Серам теңізі. Бұл Индонезияның шашыраңқы аралдары арасындағы бірнеше шағын теңіздердің бірі болып табылады. Ол Тынық мұхитының бір бөлігі және шамамен ауданы Буру және Серам аралдарының арасында орналасқан. Бұл аралдар бұрын Оңтүстік Молукка деп аталған және мускат жаңғағы, гвоздика және қара бұрыш сияқты дәмдеуіш ретінде бағаланған өсімдіктердің туған отаны болып табылады. Теңіздері көбінесе кемелердің қозғалысымен байланысты болған. Серам теңізі тропикалық гобидің бірнеше түрі мен көптеген басқа да балықтарға мекен. Индонезияның көптеген басқа шағын теңіздері сияқты, Серам теңізі де тасты және тектоникалық жағынан өте белсенді.
The Seram Sea or Ceram Sea is one of several small seas between the scattered islands of Indonesia. It is a section of the Pacific Ocean with an area of approximately located between Buru and Seram, which are two of the islands once called the South Moluccas. These islands are the native habitat of plants long coveted for their use as spices, such as nutmeg, cloves, and black peppercorns, and the seas surrounding them were busy shipping routes. The Seram Sea is also the habitat of several species of tropical goby and many other fish. Like many other small Indonesian seas, the Seram Sea is rocky and very tectonically active.
