<![CDATA[The coastal community development crisis due to illegal mining in Bintan shows the failure of natural resource (SDA) governance by the local government, thus impacting sustainable development in coastal areas. This phenomenon creates space for illegal mining activities to grow suburbs and systematically destroy the social & economic foundations of coastal communities. This study analyzes three main dimensions of the crisis: Tolerance of illegal mining, Weak law enforcement, and Damage to the ecosystem environment. Using a qualitative approach with documentary data analysis and visual observation of illegal mining routes in the Bintan region. The findings show a crisis of toleration due to the failure of local institutions, even though illegal mining activities are clearly visible and easily accessible. Weak law enforcement is caused by the lack of serious action, resulting in no deterrent effect for illegal miners. Thus, the ecological environmental crisis occurs due to the absence of massive reclamation, and results in damage to the coastal ecosystem environment. Collaboration between the government as regulator, law enforcement officers as enforcers, and local communities as supervisors is a fundamental solution to overcome the problem of illegal mining that impacts the coastal community development crisis.]]>
