Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority - MBTA , in coordination with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has announced a temporary schedule adjustment of the Lynn Ferry through April 29th due to implementation of a Right Whale "Dynamic Management Area" in the Broad Sound. The NOAA has issued this guidance for all vessels in the Broad Sound to protect the critically endangered North Atlantic right whales. Please note that ferry trips will take approximately 90 minutes, an increase from the 40-minute travel time, due to these measures. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause riders.
