Located 4 to 5 kms away from Naga City and 1.5 km from the LGU-Camaligan. The port was turned over to the PFDA for port operation and management on October 1991. The Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) is the government agency mandated to strengthen the government's developmental thrusts in fisheries through a program that would balance production ventures with adequate post-harvest
support facilities. PFDA is vested with powers and responsibilities of promoting growth of fishing industry and improving efficiency in the handling, preserving, marketing and distribution of fish and fisheries products through the stablishment and administration of fish ports, fish markets and other infrastructure necessary for the progressive advancement of the fishing industry. Its establishment signaled the thrust of the government at providing modern orgranizational and marketing framework to supplement current and future infrastructure development programs in the fishing industry. The Philippine fishing industry was experiencing an annual production growth rate of 5.5% on the national level prior to the creation of PFDA. This accomplishment , however, spawned marketing problems due to inadequate fish marketing infrastructure, poor fish handling practices, chaotic system of distribution, and limited post-harvest processing technology. Immense losses from spoilage, fish quality deterioration, slow rate of fish dispatch, and price instabiltiy had been the results of these problems. Thus Presidential Decree 977, creating the Philippine Fish Marketing Authority (PFMA), was promulgated on August 11, 1976 to address and provide solutions to the fishing industry's post-harvest problems. In the need to pursue the national economic development with renewed dedication and greater determination, Executive Order No. 772 was issued on February 8, 1982 to amend P.D. 977. By virtue of this E.O., the PFMA was renamed as Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) with expanded functions and powers and revised constitution of the Board of Directors.
