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.
When we set out to create The Power Tomorrow campaign, we wanted to explore the stories behind the transition to clean energy—not just the technology, but the people driving it. On the west coast of Ireland, nestled in the wild beauty of North Sligo, we met a woman whose life has been shaped, stirred, and steered by the ocean: Sarah Cosgrove, marine biologist and founder of Restore Blue.
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).
