Warm greetings and welcome to the Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology (ZSCMST)! 

Since opening its doors in 1956, ZSCMST has remained committed to providing quality education and producing competent graduates who contribute to the development of the fisheries, maritime, marine sciences, education, hospitality, tourism, and public service.

 Throughout the years, the College has continuously expanded its academic programs, strengthened its research and extension initiatives, and established partnerships that respond to the changing needs of society. Today, ZSCMST is recognized as a Center of Excellence in Fisheries and continues to uphold high standards in higher education.
