Port security grant program

The Marine Exchange Of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor (Marine Exchange) was awarded a $742,500 Project Grant on September 2, 2022 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Port Security Grant Program (PSGP, CFDA #97.056).

The PSGP aims to help protect critical port infrastructure from risks associated with potential terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. Through this award, the Marine Exchange will provide services to enhance maritime domain awareness and bolster port security operations for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, California. As the largest port complex in the United States supporting over 3.3 million jobs nationwide, these ports are a vital national asset. The Exchange will leverage the funding to improve coordination between port stakeholders and help ensure the continued safety and resilience of this critical transportation infrastructure.
