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.

Coexistence presents one of the greatest challenges for marine infrastructure development and fisheries. It requires not just effective monitoring but a holistic approach to project planning and execution that respects both ocean use and ocean users. At INSPIRE Environmental we are dedicated to achieving this balance as part of our commitment to the blue economy.

Offshore wind development along the U.S. Atlantic Coast has accelerated rapidly over the past decade, bringing increased attention to the interactions between offshore wind infrastructure, marine ecosystems, and fisheries.

Listen as we address the industry issue of how to evaluate potential effects of emerging offshore technologies, such as vibro piling.

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.

A Comparative Study of Armour Rock and Engineered Reef Units (ERUS) as Scour Protection

Forward Scouting is an adaptive surveying technique designed to de-risk the cable routing selection process through a flexible survey design that is adjusted in situ as data are acquired and assessed against the overall project objectives.
