Mare (called Pottebackers by the Dutch) is a small volcanic island to the west of Halmahera island, Indonesia. Measuring 2 km by 3 km, the island covers a land area of 6.09 km, and is part of the volcanic arc chain of stratovolcanoes what lie off the west coast of Halmhera, from Hiri in the north to Makian in the south. Historically, once discovered by the modern Europeans in the late 17th century (and possibly sooner), the Europeans (i.e. Dutch or Spanish), had come to colonize the people and introduce the system of Mercantilism.
Population and Administration
As at mid 2023, the island had a population of 968. It is administered as two villages (desa) of Tidore Selatan District within Tidore Islands City. The two villages are Maregam in the northeast and Marekofo in the southwest.
