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.

A massive cache of tens of thousands of hacked emails detailing the inner workings of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration was leaked to the public last month apparently in response to the fatal police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo.
The emails were posted online on April 19 by Distributed Denial of Secrets, a nonprofit whistleblower group similar to WikiLeaks that’s facilitated other recent high-profile data dumps.
