It was chartered on July 12, 1988 by virtue of a Memorandum Order signed by then Pres. Cory Aquino, and subsequently by action of the Board of Regents (BOR). The institute is located at Naawan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines.

It undertakes research and development activities on marine and fisheries resources, especially inaquaculture, marine biology and environmental assessment. These include sustainable production of rabbitfish juveniles, development of feeds and cage culture, culture and seed production of seahorse and coral culture under laboratory condition. MSU-Naawan offers several degree courses in Fisheries, fish capture, mariculture, marine biology, environmental science, fisheries extension, and aquaculture.

Auxiliary units and Research Centers

Naawan Integrated Laboratory Science High School

The MSU Naawan Integrated Laboratory Science High School is the academic arm of the Naawan Campus in charge of secondary education. In 2004 the school renamed from MSU-Naawan Fisheries High School but formerly known as Naawan High Junior School. The School enjoys the strong support of the its Parent-Teachers Association. Among their effort the NFHS PTA donated laboratory equipment for the Science Laboratories.

History

The Campus started as a field laboratory of the MSU College of Fisheries. The first batch of BS Fisheries students helped clear the area for a laboratory, and developed the fishponds which they stocked with brackishwater fish species.

In 1964, the laboratory was mere a nipa hut which housed wooden fish tanks. Previously known in the MSU (Marawi) campus as MFRL, or the MSU College of Fisheries Marine Fisheries Research Laboratory, it was where the life cycle of sugpo (Penaeus monodon, Fabricius) was studied, completed and documented with funds from the National Science Development Board (NSDB). The breakthrough solved the problem of sugpo fry shortage and paved the way for the mass production of sugpo using more intensive stocking densities. This development also led to the establishment of the SouthEast Asian Fisheries Development Center in Iloilo which continues to study sugpo to date.

On December 4, 1973, MFRL became the Institute of Fisheries Research and Development (IFRD), and maintained only to do research and extension projects. The academic arm which is the present School of Marine Fisheries and Technology (SMFT) started as an extension of the MSU College of Fisheries in Naawan just as the MSU Naawan Fisheries High School was also considered as MSU Marawi External Affairs unit.

In the 1970s, MFRL was under the Dean of MSU CF in the person of Dean D.K. Villaluz. As IFRD, it was under a Director in the person of Prof. Warlito M. Sanguila. The nomenclature was later changed to Director General. For twelve years, it was under the dynamic leadership of Dr. William R. Adan who served both as Executive Director of IFRD and later, as the first Chancellor of the now MSU at Naawan (1986 - 1998). He was followed briefly by the late Dr. Ali G. Macawaris. The Campus is at present under the able leadership of Dr. Marcelino I. Tumanda Jr.

Development of Aquaculture

Development of aquaculture conceived at MSU-Naawan which has helps contribute face of marine ecology that elevated the Philippines' status as an export-producing sector of the Philippine economy. For it was in this campus where the "blue-revolution" was first conceived. The artificial breeding techniques developed in the IFRD hatcheries allowed for the mass production of some fish species in a scale that helped closed the demand for fish in the world market.

Today

Today, since the founding of the MSU College of Fisheries and as a distinct unit of the MSU System, MSU Naawan holds the distinction as one of the campus that has gained both national and international prominence in fisheries research. The Campus counts the prestigious Earth Day Award from DENR and the Centennial Fisheries Award from DOST and the numerous awards received by its researchers as indicators of the level of excellence it has attained over the years of existence. At present, it caters to the research needs of Region 10, 12, and 13 in the fields of fisheries. It enjoys the support of other government agencies in the implementation of its programs and projects.
