Key Facts

Kepulauan Pongok is a district (kecamatan) located in the Bangka Selatan Regency of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province in Indonesia. Situated in the southern part of the Bangka Strait, this archipelago district comprises several small islands, with the main islands being Pongok Island and Celagen Island. Geographically, Kepulauan Pongok lies approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Bangka Island's mainland and forms part of the larger Bangka Belitung archipelago chain in the Java Sea. The district covers an area of approximately 72 square kilometers and has a population of around 3,000 residents, primarily engaged in fishing, small-scale agriculture, and maritime activities. As an island district, Kepulauan Pongok is divided into 4 villages (desa) - Pongok, Celagen, Buku Limau, and Labu - each representing the main inhabited islands within the archipelago. The district's economy is heavily dependent on marine resources, with fishing being the primary livelihood for most inhabitants, supplemented by coconut and rubber cultivation on the larger islands. The relatively remote location and island geography have preserved traditional fishing communities while presenting challenges for infrastructure development and connectivity.
