Archipelago governance, especially in the Riau Islands, is very complex and has not yet found a solution for its governance. This research aims to see the implementation of ideal maritime governance and how to support agile governance with a flexible system of apparatus work. The research method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The results of the research are that several factors need to be considered in maritime governance, including the authority of local governments, leadership, and resource management. In measuring the flexibility of the work system, the author uses several aspects of the approach, namely situation, approach, context, maturity, and performance. In this study, the authors provide recommendations for the formation of regulations governing the authority and governance of marine and archipelagic areas as well as the need to formulate regulations and work systems for ASN flexibility by making plans based on work and workload analysis and realizing infrastructure that supports the implementation of flexible work arrangements.
