The Port of San Francisco is an enterprise agency of the City and County of San Francisco and is governed by a Commission of five members appointed by the Mayor. The Port Commission is responsible for overseeing a broad range of waterfront commercial, maritime, and public access facilities that are held in public trust for the people of California. The Port’s jurisdiction covers approximately 7.5 miles of waterfront land from Pier 98, near Hunter’s Point in the southern part of San Francisco, to Fisherman’s Wharf in the northern part of the City.
The Port’s diverse business portfolio includes over 550 ground, commercial, retail, office, industrial and maritime industrial leases including cargo shipping, lay berthing, excursion boats, ferry boats, fishing and fish processing/distribution, tourism, filming, harbor services, and cruise operations. With some of the most flexible cargo handling facilities on the West Coast, as well as naturally deep water, the Port can handle various types of cargo such as, dry-bulk, neo-bulk, roll-on/roll-off, and project cargoes.
The Port of San Francisco has many internationally recognized landmarks such as Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, the Exploratorium, the Ferry Building and Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants baseball team. With its unique and historic properties, the Port is home to a variety of tenants and uses. The Port Commission over the last five decades has led a remarkable transformation of the Port;
maintaining its industrial maritime heritage while developing new uses, including commercial and public activities that have helped San Francisco remain one of the most visited and popular cities on the globe.
The Port’s Waterfront Resilience Program (WRP) was created to ensure the waterfront, and its important regional and citywide assets, are resilient in the face of earthquakes, flooding, sea level rise due to climate change, shoreline erosion, and extreme storms. The waterfront has a history rich with innovative adaptation, and resilience is forged in the Port’s identity. We have a once in a generation opportunity to not only defend our waterfront from future flood and earthquake risks, but also to improve and rejuvenate the waterfront, improve the City’s connection to the Bay, and bring benefits such as more open space, enhanced mobility, safety and jobs.
Over the next 3 years, Program work is expected to include completing the United States Army Corps of Engineers General Investigation Feasibility Study (San Francisco Flood Study), advancing design and engineering of the USACE recommended plan in collaboration with City partners, and implementing multiple transformational resilience projects including those funded by the 2018 Seawall General Obligation Bond. The Program is led by a dedicated team that shares a passion for leading the Port and City to a more resilient future.
