The lack of law enforcement related to sea sand mining activities that conflict with the community in Lampung Province certainly causes many problems. In addition, the impact of the sea sand mining permit also overlaps the allocation of coastal areas and small islands and has the potential to cause quite a high social conflict and environmental ecosystems and cause of ecological disasters. This article aims to analyze law enforcement against marine sand mining activities that conflict with the community in Lampung Province. This study uses normative and empirical juridical methods with a qualitative analysis model.
