Labutta District

Labutta District (Burmese: လပွတ္တာခရိုင်, Lăbutta Hkăyaing) is a district of the Ayeyarwady Region in Myanmar, and is bordered by Pathein District to the west, Myaungmya District to the north, Pyapon District to the east, and the Andaman Sea to the south.

The capital is Labutta, which is located in the west of the district. The district has a population of 785,060 people.

Geography
Labutta District is situated in the Irrawaddy Delta in western Burma. The district consists entirely of islands in the delta and is technically an archipelago. The topography is almost entirely flat with a small ridge lined with pagoda's in the district's north-west.

This district was the most heavily affected during Cyclone Nargis in 2008.

Transport
Due to the area's disjointed delta terrain, Labutta District has the lowest road density per population in the country. There is one road that connects Labutta town with Myaungmya, and another connecting Mawlamyinegyun to Kyaiklat in Pyapon District.

Most of the district's transport is based on ferries and boats, which navigate the numerous branches of the Irrawaddy Delta.
