Emma Larkin Named to Cape & Plymouth Business 40 Under 40
Congratulations to Emma Larkin, who was recently named to Cape & Plymouth Business’s 40 Under 40 list. She was recognized for her work with ecological restoration and environmental protection in Southeastern Massachusetts, particularly on Cape Cod.
Over the past decade, Emma has built a broad and impressive foundation in areas like site assessment and remediation, ecological restoration, sediment and solid waste management, and facility compliance. As a Project Manager, she oversees complex field programs, mentors junior staff, and delivers high-quality work that meets demanding regulatory requirements — all with a focus on protecting natural systems and public health. Emma also brings expertise in environmental regulations including the Massachusetts Contingency Plan, Solid Waste Regulations, and various NPDES and 401 Water Quality permits, where she translates policies into clear action plans for clients and team members.
Emma has served as a key contributor to ecological restoration efforts throughout Cape Cod, where she brings her expertise in hydrology, sediment processes, and environmental assessment to projects aimed at healing and restoring natural habitats. This past year, she worked closely with local municipalities and environmental non-profits to support efforts that improve water quality, reestablish tidal flow, and restore wetlands and coastal ecosystems. Additionally, she plays an integral role in our firm’s Emergency Response program to respond to environmental emergencies, particularly those involving public utilities, where she has supported multiple rapid-response efforts following spills or releases to protect people and ecosystems during high-stress situations.
Outside of her impact through her work at Tighe & Bond, Emma regularly volunteers in local environmental clean-ups on beaches and other natural areas on Cape Cod.
Our team celebrated her win at the 40 Under 40 Awards Ceremony on June 12, and her profile is featured with other winners in Cape & Plymouth Business’s June 2025 magazine.
