The research method used is a qualitative approach with the type of descriptive research then data collection is obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The focus of this study examines policy implementation from aspects of achieving policy objectives, target groups, implementing organizations, and environmental factors. The process of data analysis includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The results of this study indicate the government's concrete efforts through interactive communication and obtaining effective information through inputs from the fishing community that explain the root of the problem at hand but the findings of this study show that the empowerment program aimed at this group of fishermen received physical assistance but the essence of behavior change has not been implemented optimally because these behavioral changes require a short process and program sustainability.
