The Yellow River Basin plays a crucial role as both an ecological barrier and an economic development area in China. However, achieving synergistic development between the environment and industry in the coastal provinces remains challenging. Conducting in-depth studies on the synergy between these two aspects can provide valuable guidance for the development of each province. This paper employs the Topsis method to assess the development level of the industrial and environmental systems in the Yellow River Basin. Additionally, it utilizes the Harken model to analyze the synergy between the environment and industry in the coastal provinces of the Yellow River Basin from 2011 to 2021. Furthermore, the overall distribution of the level of synergistic development between the industry and environment in the Yellow River Basin is analyzed using kernel density estimation. The empirical findings reveal the following: 1. The development level of both environmental and industrial systems in each province of the Yellow River Basin has exhibited a consistent increase over the study period. 2. The average synergy between environment and industry in the Yellow River Basin has shown a declining trend from 2011 to 2021. In 2021, the synergy level follows the pattern of "upstream
