AN effort to avoid large ships striking and killing endangered whales has led to new traffic lanes off the California coast.
The changes that started yesterday affect ship traffic in San Francisco Bay, the Santa Barbara Channel and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Migrating blue, fin and humpback whales are prone to strikes as they are lured to the California coast in years where there's plentiful krill to feed on.
