INSPIRE Environmental (INSPIRE), Full Fathom Five Marine (FF5), and RECON Offshore (RECON) have formed a team to integrate marine archaeology and cultural resources services to INSPIRE’s benthic, marine ecosystem, and fisheries service offerings. All service lines are supported by INSPIRE’s robust, interactive data visualization tools. FF5 and RECON bring deep experience in enhanced archaeological services to support cultural resource assessments, agency review, and tribal engagement and support. These services are geared toward offshore wind and other marine renewables, integrated sediment management, and other offshore infrastructure projects.
INSPIRE, FF5, and RECON are partners in providing comprehensive multidisciplinary siting and permitting marine infrastructure projects. They also provide monitoring and adaptive management during construction and operations. Our combined team allows for increased efficiency and rigor across multiple specialties. This leads to seamless articulation of both environmental and cultural resource evaluations.
