CAVITE STATE UNIVERSITY

NAIC CAMPUS

INTRODUCTION

The Cavite School of Fisheries was created under Republic Act No. 2661,

sponsored by Congressman Justiniano Montano, the congressman for the lone district

of Cavite, with an initial appropriation of P200, 000.00, which was approved by

Congress on June 18, 1960. Its implementation in 1961 seems to have a very slim

P22, 000.00 was set aside for the construction of the school building and the balance

1962, with an enrollment of one hundred and seventy-five first year students under

Secondary Fishery education curriculum and with an additional appropriation of P100,

000.00. Classes were initially conducted in the old municipal building located right in

the heart of the town of Naic. After a year, the school was transferred to its present

site in the Bucana, a coastal barangay in Naic.

Cavite School of Fisheries was converted to a College in 1970, offering two and a

there was a continuous marked increase in enrollment, number of teaching and
