The Samarga (Russian: Самарга) is the northernmost river in the Primorsky Krai territory in the far eastern part of Russia. It is 218 kilometres (135 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 7,760 square kilometres (3,000 sq mi), making it the largest coastal river in the northern Sikhote-Alin mountain range. It flows into the Sea of Japan. The river system is a unique and relatively untouched centre of biodiversity in the Eastern Sikhote–Alin mountains because it is in a remote and mountainous region.
