About 15 dolphins took a wrong turn from Sandy Hook Bay and wound up in two narrow rivers near the coast in July.

New Jersey's wayward dolphins won't be removed from two rivers near the Jersey shore.
That's the word Friday from a federal wildlife agency that has been trying to decide what to do about a pod of bottlenose dolphins that took a wrong turn in June and ended up in the Shrewsbury and Navesink rivers.
Two dolphins have died so far, and concern is growing among animal rescuers that the rest could die as well if they're not removed.
The leader of one such group says leaving the 12 remaining animals there is tantamount to letting them all die.
