The changes, which take effect next year once the U.S. Coast Guard has developed standards, including the diversion of vessels feeding areas for animals and narrowing of other ways.
Five whales were killed in accidents with boats in an area outside of San Francisco in 2010.
Experts say similar adjustments adopted in Canada to protect whales have been successful.
