Four independent community members have been appointed to the newly-formed committee which will be responsible for the day-to-day running of Southwold Harbour.
The harbour, a popular tourist attraction in the Suffolk coastal town, is under threat due to rising sea levels.
Its north pier fender is also damaged and in need of repair to protect boats navigating to and from the Blyth Estuary.
A repair project at a cost of up to £1.1million - funded from existing East Suffolk Council capital budgets and reserves - was approved last November.

The harbour, a popular tourist attraction on the Suffolk coast, is under threat due to rising sea levels.
Last month, East Suffolk Council and Southwold Town Council agreed to form a Harbour Management Committee (HMC), which will be in charge of its operations.
The HMC will consist of five members of East Suffolk s cabinet and four independent members of the community, with law firm Ashfords recommending a near-equal split was required to meet the requirements of the Harbour Order of 1933.
