The

Mayor
and approved by the
Board of Supervisors
. The Port is responsible for managing the larger waterfront area that extends from the anchorage of the

, along the
Marina district
, all the way around the north and east shores of the city of
San Francisco
including
Fisherman's Wharf
and the
Embarcadero
, and southward to the city line just beyond

Harbor of San Francisco
waterfront to the
City and County of San Francisco
