Jose Rizal Memorial State University (JRMSU), through the leadership of University President Dr. Maria Rio Abdon Naguit and in partnership with DOST-PCAARRD, continues to strengthen research-driven solutions that support sustainable fisheries, marine innovation, and coastal economic development through three major fisheries and marine science initiatives:

๐Ÿ”น โ€œAssessing the Feasibility of Sustainable Sardine Hatcheryโ€
๐Ÿ”น โ€œManaging Sardine Swarms: A Policy for Sustainable Sardine Fisheries in the Zamboanga Peninsulaโ€
๐Ÿ”น โ€œUpgrading of the Center for Marine Research & Sustainable Ecosystems (CEMARSEC)โ€

Together, these projects aim to strengthen sustainable sardine production, improve fisheries governance, enhance marine research infrastructure, and support science-based interventions that contribute to job creation, fisheries resilience, sustainable livelihoods, and long-term economic opportunities for coastal communities in the Zamboanga Peninsula โ€” one of the countryโ€™s major sardine-producing regions.

The initiatives also highlight the importance of research, innovation, laboratory development, fisheries management, and multi-sectoral collaboration in promoting inclusive economic growth and strengthening the sustainability of the fisheries industry.

As part of the PCAARRD-GIA Project Review and Monitoring activities, the DOST-PCAARRD delegation and JRMSU research team visited sardine processing and distribution facilities in Dipolog City to align ongoing research initiatives with the actual needs of the sardine industry.

The activity supports the projects on sustainable sardine hatchery development and fisheries policy research, while strengthening industry partnerships, local enterprise development, and sustainable livelihood opportunities for coastal communities.

This initiative highlights the importance of research-driven innovation in promoting economic growth, employment opportunities, and resilient local industries in the Zamboanga Peninsula.

As part of the Project Review, Monitoring, and Evaluation of the PCAARRD-GIA Projects hosted by Jose Rizal Memorial State University (JRMSU), the DOST-PCAARRD delegation conducted an industry immersion and consultation visit to the facilities of Dipolog Livelihood Distribution Inc. and selected sardine industry partners in Dipolog City.

The activity formed part of the continuing implementation of the projects:
โ€ข Assessing the Feasibility of Sustainable Sardine Hatchery
โ€ข Managing Sardine Swarms: A Policy for Sustainable Sardine Fisheries in Zamboanga Peninsula

Led by Dr. Reynaldo V. Ebora, Executive Director of DOST-PCAARRD, together with Dr. Mari-Ann M. Acedera, Director of MRRD, and officials and researchers from JRMSU headed by Dr. Maria Rio Abdon-Naguit, University President and Project Leader, the delegation visited processing and distribution facilities to better understand the operational needs, production systems, and realities faced by stakeholders in the sardine industry.

The visit provided an important venue for aligning ongoing research initiatives with actual industry demands, ensuring that scientific studies, hatchery initiatives, and policy recommendations remain practical, responsive, and beneficial to the fisheries sector and coastal communities of the Zamboanga Peninsula.

Through collaborative discussions with industry stakeholders, the activity reinforced the importance of research-driven innovation, sustainable fisheries management, and strong academeโ€“industry partnerships in advancing regional food security, marine sustainability, and economic development.

JRMSU continues to strengthen its commitment to impactful research and extension initiatives under the RIO Legacy framework โ€” promoting science-based solutions that directly respond to community and industry needs.

๐ŸŒ SDG HIGHLIGHT | SDG 11, SDG 8, and SDG 17: Sustainable Communities, Economic Growth, and Partnerships for the Goals

As part of The RIO Legacy โ€“ Raising Impact through Opportunities: One JRMSU, All 17 SDGs, a collaborative planning meeting with the Local Chief Executives of Dipolog City and Dapitan City strengthened discussions under PROJECT RIZAL, particularly focusing on the pillars of Illuminating Historic Paths and Attracting Tourists.

The discussions revolved around plans to improve the tourism ambiance along the area fronting JRMSU and nearby routes, envisioning the development of a more attractive and welcoming environment through the creation of a pedestrian-friendly walking platform and enhanced tourism spaces. The initiative seeks to transform the area into a vibrant corridor where culture, history, education, and local identity convergeโ€”creating opportunities for visitors and communities to experience a more engaging and meaningful destination.

Beyond infrastructure enhancement, the initiative reflects a broader vision of creating spaces that encourage cultural appreciation, promote local tourism, support economic activity, and strengthen community identity. Through strong partnerships between the academe and local government units, PROJECT RIZAL continues to demonstrate how collaborative planning can turn ideas into sustainable and people-centered development.
