About us | The American Cetacean Society has been dedicated to protecting whales since 1967. The Los Angeles Chapter has lectures September through May, excluding December. The LA Chapter has several ongoing projects which include the Gray Whale Cenus and Behavior Project and the Cabrillo Whalewatch Naturalist training program. The Gray Whale Census and Behavior program began in 1979 and operates between December 1st and May 15th each year documenting the Pacific Gray Whale migration as they pass the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The ACS-LA Chapter also works closely with the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium and trains docents to accompany whale watch trips to educate the public about the whales, dolphins, and other sea creatures that live off our coast. |
