However, behind these efforts, there is a dis-harmonization of the Labuh Jangkar policy implementation by the Riau Islands which strategically has the urgency of a comprehensive settlement. This research article describing the phenomenon of labuh Jangkar policy implementation, specifically related to the phenomenon of motivational synthesis failure between the policymakers at the central level and Riau Island government at the regional level. Riau Island Province as the government area is the study location where data were collected by researchers. A qualitative approach was employed to collect and analyze data, using the descriptive study design. The Labuh Jangkar policy implementation requires strong political will from the local government by issuing derivative regulations as technical guidelines and implementing instructions. Likewise, the central government must be politically sincere in giving authority to manage the sea up to 12 miles as stated. This research recommends immediately mapping the resource needs to manage the Labuh Jangkar in the form of human resources, technological resources, and the tools resources.
