MBTA Ferry service could be delayed because of whale traffic.

A 2-year-old humpback whale is currently spending time in Boston Harbor. The whale was first spotted two weeks ago.

Delays will happen on the Lynn, Hingham/Hull, and Winthrop/Quincy ferries, the MBTA said. Ferries must slow to 11.5 mph when near whales and must avoid being within 100 feet of them.

For smaller boats, they must be at least 500 feet away from the whales. Experts say boaters should look for blows, spouts, or bubbles.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
