Description
The Dolphin Research Insitutute (DRI) is a strategic research, education and conservation organisation based at Hastings, on the shore of Western Port in Victoria, Australia.
DRI was began 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.
DRI believes we must act to stop the tragedies that are being inflicted on dolphins around the country and ensure that our dolphins in Victoria are protected from similar fates, ensuring that future generations can also be touched by these smiling ambassadors for the sea.
