The riprap breakwater that protects the Port from waves also provides extensive habitat for fish and invertebrates while anchoring extensive stretches of giant kelp and feather boa kelp. Take a look at the kelp and some of the animals that live on the breakwater and in the outer harbor!

Port of Los Angeles Supervisor Kat Prickett gives an inside look at the study results and what they mean for the future.

The Port of Los Angeles is proud to be a longstanding supporter of marine wildlife in Los Angeles Harbor through supporting this organization and other efforts to defend biological resources.

Since 1997, the Port of Los Angeles has maintained, monitored and protected 15 acres of land on Pier 400 for the California Least Tern, a federally listed endangered species.

When California sea lions become sick, injured, or malnourished, the Marine Mammal Care Center Los Angeles in San Pedro treats these animals before returning them to the sea. The Los Angeles Port Police was happy to assist in this effort on May 16, when a group of one-year-old pups were released back into the water just outside of the Port of Los Angeles breakwater.
