This research investigates the implementation of strategic management in the Cultivated Fisheries Management Program at the Marine and Fisheries Office of Pangkep Regency. Grounded in the strategic management framework proposed by Wheelen et al. (2018), the study focuses on program activities, budget allocation, and procedural aspects to assess their impact on the program's success in increasing aquaculture productivity. The analysis reveals that while the department exhibits comprehensive program activities, challenges arise in the distribution of aid for aquaculture infrastructure. The influence of basic aspiration funds (pokir) by members of the DPR contributes to mismanagement, deviating from established procedures. Budget constraints further hinder program success, with cuts initiated by the DPR affecting crucial training and outreach activities. In addressing procedural aspects, the study finds that the Marine and Fisheries Office of Pangkep Regency adheres to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in implementing strategy elements. Data collection through field surveys, input via the One Data application, and validation processes follow SOPs, ensuring the integrity of information until the next collection period. While procedural aspects demonstrate optimal implementation, challenges in aid distribution and budget constraints emerge as critical barriers to the Cultivated Fisheries Management Program's success. The findings underscore the importance of addressing these specific issues to enhance the effectiveness of strategic management in achieving aquaculture productivity targets in Pangkep Regency. The research contributes valuable insights to the discourse on strategic management in public sector organizations, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions in aid distribution and budget planning to realize sustainable development goals.
