The Dolphin Research Institute is based at Hastings, on the shore of Western Port in Victoria, Australia. DRI’s efforts are focussed in the south-eastern region of Australia.

DRI was seeded in the late 80’s by people who were concerned about our local dolphins and what we were doing to our marine environment. We have grown in to a well-managed and sustainable not-for-profit conservation organisation. The Institute is self-funded from the community, the corporate sector and government grants. Today, we are able to employ biologists and educators to work with our volunteers and students on structured and outcome-driven projects at our Marine Conservation Centre . Our original concerns and passions remain, as do our community roots.
