Dolphin Research Institute |
The Dolphin Research Institute is based at Hastings, on the shores of Western Port in Victoria, Australia.
DRI's research is focused primarily in the south-eastern region of Victoria, especially Port Phillip, Western Port and the Gippsland Lakes.
The Institute has over 25 years of dolphin research - we know our resident dolphins through fin identification and regular surveys; our data-base is extensive and ever-expanding! We also know that our supporters feel proud of our work. It is a tangible way for them to be able to say "Yes, I'm helping these dolphins now, and for their future."
The Dolphin Research Institute has been conducting research about Victoria's dolphin populations since 1991. The ethical, transparent and collaborative approach to our work has made DRI the leader in the field of marine conservation research and education in Victoria.
Dolphin Research Institute is a registered charity with the Australian Charities Not For Profits Commission.
