The method used is descriptive analysis and literature review. Data for this analysis is based on various secondary data and scholarly sources. This study found that conflicts in coastal communities are in the form of vertical and horizontal conflicts, which are dominated by fishermen conflicts with a background of interests, regulations, also social and economic problems. Preventing social conflicts is done by improving governmental policies and regulations as well as developing communities.
