City Dock No.1

The nation’s leading container port, the Port of Los Angeles, is building the premier address for marine research – City Dock No. 1.

The Port of Los Angeles plans to offer a unique and ideally located world renowned venue for marine research scientists.

City Dock No. 1 will provide direct waterside access to some of the deepest water in the harbor. Facilities envisioned at this site include academic marine research laboratories, government laboratories and support activities for at-sea programs, a research and development park and business incubator for emerging marine environmental companies and educational support facilities creating outreach opportunities for K-12 students engaged in marine science studies.

This rich and varied marine environment shares space with an active residential community and one of the world’s busiest commercial/industrial ports. The interaction of these three key elements create a natural laboratory and an ideal location to study how the growing needs of society can coexist with a healthy marine environment.

Imagine a campus environment complete with direct access to the Port’s Main Channel and the Pacific Ocean a short distance away, vintage maritime buildings adapted for your specific needs, neighbors that include a bustling fish market, and historic Pacific Electric Red Cars that can be used for commuting to work. It all comes together at the Port of Los Angeles’ City Dock No. 1.
