New Website Provides Close-Up Look at POLA Marine Habitats, Wildlife

SAN PEDRO — The Port of Los Angeles has unveiled an educational website showcasing the abundant marine life thriving above and below port waterways.

The LA Harbor Habitats website at laharborhabitats.org also details findings gleaned from Port-led biological surveys conducted over the last two decades.  

The LA Harbor Habitats site creates a visual and three-dimensional representation of marine life at the port, providing users with various ways to explore the trade gateway’s biology, including by habitat. Underwater videos, interactive games and photography of the undersea world of the port add to the experience. 

Every five years since 2000, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have conducted year-long, harbor-wide biological surveys of the habitat conditions and marine biological communities across the San Pedro Bay port complex. The survey information and findings are available online and used regularly for biological mitigation planning related to port development projects.
