<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the impacts of tin mining activities on fishermen and the implementation of tin mining and coastal area management policies in protecting fishermen's interests in Lingkungan Nelayan 2, Sungailiat District, Bangka Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis used Dunn's policy impact perspective and Edwards III's policy implementation theory, covering communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings indicate that tin mining activities have multidimensional impacts on fishermen's livelihoods. Environmentally, the impacts include sedimentation, estuary shallowing, changes in water quality, disruption of marine ecosystems, and changes in fishing grounds. These environmental changes subsequently affect the economic conditions of fishermen through increased operational costs, longer fishing distances, reduced production efficiency, and greater livelihood vulnerability. Socially, the mining activities have generated differences in community perceptions, competition over coastal space, changes in social interaction, and conflicts of interest between mining and fishing activities. Policy implementation has been supported by regulations and institutional arrangements but remains suboptimal because communication tends to be administrative, monitoring resources are limited, implementation commitment faces competing economic interests, and authority is fragmented. The study concludes that the relationship between tin mining and fishermen constitutes a socio-ecological governance issue that cannot be addressed solely through mining control but requires stronger coordination, monitoring, participatory communication, and meaningful involvement of fishermen in coastal governance.]]>
