INSPIRE provides specialist desktop underwater acoustic modelling, impact assessment, and pre-construction decision-making services in support of offshore energy and marine infrastructure development, regulatory permitting, and mitigation optimization.
INSPIRE has been at the forefront of offshore wind development since the earliest U.S. projects, including Ørsted’s Block Island Wind Farm, and has supported more than half of all offshore wind developments in the United States.
This work introduces a framework called Nature Inclusive Offshore Wind Farms (NIOWFs) to describe how OW development fits into the New Blue Economy in the context of the U.S. East Coast.
