Shipping lanes moved for whales
From Times Wire Reports
The shipping lanes in and out of Boston Harbor will be narrowed and shifted north today in a bid to lower the risk of ships killing rare right whales.
The entire North Atlantic right whale population is estimated at just 350.
It’s the first time in U.S. history that shipping lanes have been changed to protect wildlife.
