Dolphin Research Insitute
An award-winning not for profit organisation based on the shores of Western Port. For more than three decades, our passionate team of researchers and educators have dedicated themselves to protecting what we love in Victoria’s marine environment.
Our work is based on long-term research and shares our knowledge with the community through our innovative education programs and leadership.
Our goal is always to achieve the best conservation outcomes possible for the incredible range of animals that frequent our waters, whether it’s the resident bottlenose and common dolphins or the migrating giants, humpback and southern right whales.
Meet the team of DRI researchers and volunteers and ask questions about their work, how to get involved and careers in marine science.
Check out our catalogues of dolphin and whale images, browse our DRI merch items like beanies and caps for sale, and don't miss the chance to adopt a whale or dolphin. Join our competition to win some fantastic DRI goodies!
