On Dec. 1st, 2024, Alisa Schulman-Janiger was recognized for her 40 years of dedication as Director and Coordinator of ACS-LA’s Gray Whale Census and Behavior Project by the Mayor of Rancho Palos Verdes, John Cruikshank.
The ACS-LA Board was joined by Census citizen scientists, Whalewatch volunteers, ACS-LA Members, family and friends for this beautiful morning on the first day of Census. The Mayor gave a wonderful speech when he presented her with the plaque we made in her honor.
Dec. 1st began our 41st season and we couldn’t be more proud of Alisa’s dedication and hard work towards making this Project a success. We would also like to acknowledge our many volunteer citizen scientists whose participation and dedication make this Project possible.
