We engage in empirical science to support responsible management and diverse uses of complex marine environments. We provide specialized approaches, innovative technologies, and technical expertise for the assessment, monitoring and management of marine resources.
We assess benthic communities in soft-sediment environments using conventional and non-extractive survey methods. Our analyses characterize habitat structure and ecosystem function to support impact assessment, permitting, nature-based design, and informed offshore infrastructure decisions across diverse regulatory settings.
We evaluate hard-structure and reef-associated communities using advanced imaging and field-based survey approaches. Our work supports impact assessment, monitoring, and design decisions for offshore energy and coastal infrastructure projects in complex marine environments.
We monitor fisheries resources in marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments using standard and non-extractive methods and provide desktop and field support across North America and Europe. Our experience in planning, permitting, sampling, and analysis supports clients through every phase of project development and assessment.
Physics-based acoustic modelling that improves prediction accuracy, strengthens mitigation design, and increases confidence with regulators helps offshore projects move forward responsibly while protecting marine ecosystems.
We collect defensible marine and freshwater data using non-extractive and conventional benthic and fisheries survey approaches. Combining adaptive sampling, advanced imaging technologies, and rigorous quality assurance, we deliver high-integrity datasets that inform permitting, modelling, and design decisions in complex offshore environments.
Through Nature-Based Design advisory and support, INSPIRE helps developers reach regulatory requirements (like Marine Net Gain), strengthen non-price bid and permitting performance, and preserve decommissioning flexibility in projects including marine infrastructure.
INSPIRE’s Advanced Data Services transform complex marine data into insight. Powered by the Popup platform, we integrate visualization, digital twins, and advanced analytics including automated feature detection to help offshore energy, infrastructure, and coastal resilience projects manage risk, demonstrate performance, and support confident lifecycle decisions.
