The Port of Hueneme is aiming to minimise negative environmental impacts within the working waterfront while growing business within the port, as a part of its 2020 Strategic Plan.
The port’s environmental framework is a critical element of the port’s community engagement and ‘being a good neighbour’, by working closely with other community organisations and associations that foster sustainable economic development within the community.
Public engagement is achieved by soliciting input from the community residents and other stakeholders, to educate the public on the port’s environmental framework and success. Seeking partnerships to prosper environmental programmes such as the clean air programme, clean water programmes and climate change energy programmes.
These initiatives include fully implementing shore power programme and the stormwater improvement plan. Developing a long-range policy to incorporate climate change, sea level rise adaptation and resiliency with infrastructure investments, and promoting cleaner burning fuels usage for terminal, off-terminal and vessel operations.
The Port of Hueneme's 2020 Strategic Plan is a visioning document focused on the top priorities of economic vitality, marketing, environment, innovation and technology and strategic partnerships.
It provides a five-year planning horizon with a 20-year vision for operational, business and economic developments as well as a detailed plan of environmental objectives.
