What is the collective name for the seas of Indonesia? The seas in Indonesia or Sunda Shelf or Southeast Asia separates the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. The seas in Indonesia itself are broken into many parts due to presence of islands such as Sunda islands, Philippines etc. Examples include Java Sea, Celebes Sea, Banda Sea, Flores Sea etc. 

Is there a collective term to name the seas of Indonesia as a whole region???

But that has an atmospheric perspective; it refers to the ocean and the land, because they're both important for the meteorology of the region.  There may be another name for just the watery bits in between the land.
