The Dunbar Harbour Trust is a charitable Trust set up in 1999 whose primary objective is to maintain and develop Dunbar Harbour as a working fishing port and an asset to the local community.

The Trust was formed by a number of Dunbar harbour users who considered that the harbour could be developed with improved facilities for the professional and leisure users as well as becoming a focal point for the local community. An approach to East Lothian Council (ELC), the owners of the harbour, resulted in an agreement to negotiate a transfer of responsibility for the operation of the harbour to the Trust. This resulted in the Revision Order of 2004 which gave the Trust full responsibility for the harbour.
