Pitt Strait (Indonesia) (a.k.a. Pitt's Strait, Sagewin Strait),[1] falls within the waters of the Indonesian province of Southwest Papua. The strait separates the Raja Ampat islands of Batanta and Salawati and links the Ceram Sea to the Pacific Ocean.[2][3] To its west lies Dampier Strait, which separates Batanta island from Waigeo island.[3][4] The Sagewin Strait name refers to Sagewin Island, which lies at the south east side of Pitt Strait, close to Salawati.
