The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners, also known as the Los Angeles Harbor Commission, is a unit of the City of Los Angeles government that oversees the management and operation of the Port of Los Angeles. While primarily focused on maritime commerce, navigation, and fisheries, the Board has indirectly supported the space industry by approving agreements related to space-related activities within the port. For example, they approved a sublease agreement with SpaceX for rocket recovery operations at the Port of Long Beach. Key activities involve managing port operations, promoting commerce, and ensuring public access to the waterfront.
