Innovation seems to have become an important component and requirement for public institutions in both central and regional government, because it makes sense. At the government level, both regional and central government, the ability to innovate, especially policy innovation, is part of the ability to utilize resource potential, both local and national, supported by bureaucratic creativity at various levels. One of the important prerequisites for encouraging the growth of policy innovation is to create creative ideas for new bureaucratic change. Internal Affairs and Policy have some quite basic differences. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods. The research results explain that the factors that are of concern for the implementation of collaborative innovation policies are the geographical location of Nunukan district which is an island and the lack of clean water and electricity supplies. So the implementation of downstreaming for Nunukan district has not been implemented optimally. Of course, this will affect the socio-economic development of coastal communities who are seaweed cultivators.
