Marine ecosystems make up 99 per cent of the planet’s living space by volume, yet they are among the least visible and most fragile environments. Unlike terrestrial habitats, their health is often difficult to observe, making them more prone to being misunderstood or overlooked.
Sarah Cosgrove is a marine scientist with a background in marine ecology, environmental impact assessments and marine spatial planning. She is also the founder of Restore Innovation, which has developed a pioneering system to help ORE (offshore renewable energy) developers integrate nature-inclusive designs into their planning processes.
Restore Innovation wants to help offshore energy developers think about nature-inclusive design.
The company was founded just this year and is led by Dr Sarah Cosgrove, who comes with 18 years of experience in the marine sector with a focus on marine biodiversity and offshore renewable energy.
Ambitious businesses involved in seaweed farming, Nature-Inclusive Design and hydrocolloid innovation are among the companies taking part in the BIM Innovation Studio in Cork City this month.
This year’s program is made up of nine participant companies who are a mixture of startup, scale-up and mature businesses seeking both to explore new markets and grow their companies even further.
Restore Blue places sustainability and innovation at the heart of its approach to offshore construction, grounded in a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and expertise in Nature-Inclusive Design (NID).
