Human activities have recently led to a decline in global coral reefs, highlighting the need for programs like Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to support their sustainability. The present study aims to evaluated the cost-benefit of MPAs in Bintan Island. Field observations were carried out from June to November 2021 at 3 stations in MPAs of Bintan Island. To describe coral live cover, Point Intercept Transect (PIT) and Underwater photo transect (UPT) were applied. For the value of fisheries production were estimated using the underwater visual census (UVC). To estimate the ecosystem services provided by MPAs, Total Economic Valuation (TEV) approach were used. The result showed the coral reef condition in Bintan is good categories with 30-40% of live coral covered and it estimated 9,000 kg ha-1 of fish production. The economic benefit for fisheries estimated USD 2,000,000 per year. However, in this MPAs, the expenditure of government and NGO for maintaining and monitoring special program around USD 50,000 in 2021. The benefit provided by the MPAs is higher than cost for manage the MPAs in Bintan Island. For sustainability the benefit of MPAs, government may increase the budget for maintained and coral transplantation programs
