The Port of Los Angeles Community Advisory Committee was established as a standing committee of the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners in 2001. 

The purposes of the Committee are:

(1) To assess the impacts of Port developments on the harbor area communities and to recommend suitable mitigation measures to the Board for such impacts.

(2) To review past, present and future environmental documents in an open public process and to make recommendations to the Board that ensure that impacts of the communities are appropriately mitigated in accordance with Federal and State of California law.

(3) To provide a public forum and to make recommendations to the Board to assist the Port in taking a leadership role in creating balanced communities in Wilmington, Harbor City and San Pedro so that the quality of life is maintained and enhanced by the presence of the Port.
