- ABSTRACT
Abrasion is a natural process of soil erosion caused by destructive waves and ocean currents in coastal areas, particularly in the Bengkalis Regency. Abrasion harms the environment and the economy of those who rely on plantation products. This study aims to discover how the community can help the Bengkalis Regency government prevent abrasion by managing the marine coastal environment. Methodology qualitative with a case study approach was used to respond to the problems observed in the regency area. It is required because the environment is a source of the community's economic, social, and cultural life. This study employed Oakley's community empowerment theory, which includes contribution, organization, and the community's role, action, motivation, and responsibility. This study's findings revealed a lack of full community participation in government programs addressing coastal abrasion in the Bengkalis Regency.
