This practice accelerates environmental damage contrary to the SDGs and exacerbates damage contrary to the principles of SDG 12. Recommendations for stricter regulations and implementing environmentally friendly mining methods can reduce adverse environmental impacts and support the sustainability of coastal ecosystems and the well-being of local communities. Such policies are essential to balance natural resource utilization and conservation efforts, aligning with SDG target 12. The novelty of this study lies in the need for more literature discussing this issue in Kodingareng Lompo Island.

Online business is starting to be used frequently by the public. However, from the many online businesses, many entrepreneurs are still unable to carry out proper development of their online businesses. Things like attracting consumer buying interest by increasing consumer satisfaction are still not understood by some entrepreneurs. So it is necessary to carry out further research development on online business management that has an impact on increasing consumer satisfaction by looking at changes in consumer buying interest. The research method used is library research, where this is to find findings that need to be concluded and find new things so that it is easier for subsequent research to conduct research. The results are still a gap between the research results and the existing theory between the relationship between consumer buying interest and consumer satisfaction, online business management with consumer satisfaction, and online business management with consumer buying interest. Another thing that needs to be done is further research on the relationship between the three variables.
