The　coastal　system　is　a　highly　active　and　productive　social-ecological　system　(SES)　facing　significant　challenges　from　human　activities.　However,　understanding　the　resilience　of　this　complex　system　is　limited　due　to　conflicting　effects　of　local　infrastructure　development　and　regional　ecosystem　degradation　with　high　spatial　precision.　This　study　proposes　a　holistic　indicator,　coastal　landscape　social-ecological　resilience　(CLSER),　to　evaluate　the　historical　changes　in　social-ecological　resilience　in　Fujian＇s　coastal　zone　over　the　past　two　decades.　The　CLSER　considers　trade-offs　between　ecosystems,　social　systems,　and　production　systems,　the　subsystems　with　conflicted　interests,　providing　a　comprehensive　perspective　of　integrated　land　and　sea　planning　at　a　fine　spatial　resolution.　Results　reveal　spatial　variation　in　CLSER　within　Fujian＇s　coastal　zone,　with　poorer　conditions　(i.e.,　class　I　and　II)　in　developed　urban　areas　and　better　conditions　(i.e.,　class　IV　and　V)　in　vegetated　regions.　From　2000　to　2010,　CLSER　experienced　a　significant　decline,　primarily　driven　by　coastal　habitat　degradation　due　to　extensive　land　reclamation　and　shoreline　solidification.　While　there　was　a　slight　increase　in　CLSER　from　2010　to　2020　due　to　the　improvement　of　coastal　infrastructure,　it　did　not　fully　compensate　for　the　overall　loss　in　CLSER.　Consequently,　Fujian＇s　coastal　zone　exhibits　a　more　fragile　social-ecological　system　under　rapid　urbanization,　with　increasing　solid　shorelines.　The　proposed　indicator　effectively　reflects　the　general　resilience　of　a　coastal　SES　to　external　disturbances　and　suggests　management　strategies　for　promoting　sustainable　development　in　the　coastal　zone.
