===Port of Los Angeles===
The [[Port of Los Angeles]], sprawling across the shorelines of [[San Pedro, Los Angeles|San Pedro]] and [[Wilmington, Los Angeles|Wilmington]], is the busiest in the United States. When combined with the [[Port of Long Beach]], it is the fifth-busiest in the world.  Traditionally, most of the populations of Wilmington and San Pedro have worked for the port in some capacity.  It is increasingly the primary driver of the Southern California economy. Industrial growth in the [[Inland Empire]] is almost entirely attributable to increased port traffic since the 1980s. The massive increase in cargo volume has created significant air pollution (especially of [[particulate]] matter in neighboring communities, resulting from the combustion of low-grade marine [[diesel fuel]]).
