Additional industries include electronics, oceanography, aerospace and missiles, medical and scientific research, and agriculture. San Diego's natural harbor is also a hustling commercial port. Due to the city’s close proximity to Mexico, tourism contributes greatly to the city's economy. It is no surprise that San Diego is referred to as “America’s Finest City.”
