Anchorages
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have set aside many safe areas for vessel anchorage.
Offshore Islands and Groups
Located within Long Beach Harbor are four man made islands built by the oil consortium THUMS. These islands were built to resemble resort islands to blend in with the surrounding coastal environment. THUMS is a model operation that demonstrates how technology can be used to mitigate the impact of oil operations on sensitive environments. THUMS derived its name from the original consortium of Texaco, Humble, Unocal, Mobil and Shell that operated the field.
The four islands, Grissom, White, Chaffee and Freeman, were named after the first astronauts who died in the line of duty early in the U.S. space program. Located between a few hundred yards to 1.5 miles offshore in Long Beach Harbor, they provide a safe haven for vessel anchorage.
