This site is for you, the community of people living, working and conducting business in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

There are so many issues that face our harbor on a daily basis and our hope at LAPortWatch.com and LBPortWatch.com is that we can bring these matters to you in a clear and articulate forum without bias.

We serve every constituency of people and business in and around the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, without prejudice; from environmental issues to container movement, we cover it all.

The Ports of Los Angeles & Long Beach hope to begin a massive build over coming years and each port’s administration has promised to keep environmental impacts to a minimum through the ‘Ports Clean Air Action Plan.’ Of course, successfully balancing development and community interests works best when people have the facts and at LAPortWatch we are constantly striving to bring you the information you need to know about these issues.

A very large number of people use this site every single day and we hope to grow from strength to strength over the coming years to keep you informed of each new development well in advance. This will involve investing in new technologies, regularly attending community meetings, supporting our volunteers and researching the issues.

So, what is our mission? We are here to play a role in seeing faster and more efficient freight movement, less pollutant methods of goods transport, a cleaner environment, greater port security balanced with appropriate public access and an engaging waterfront!

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to write.

Sincerely,
