Welcome Haere Mai
Welcome to the Bluewater Endeavours Living Lab (BELL) Projects.
Marlborough's FIRST "ONE Health" Resilience Living Lab
A Living Lab helps real people find real solutions in the real world.
Our Objective: To build a Resilient Marlborough Community by incorporating innovative recreation, tech and tourism as ways for people to connect to each other and to place.
Traditionally, emergency management has been "firefighting"—waiting for an outbreak or environmental disaster to occur before mobilizing.
By integrating One Health (the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health) into the overlapping recreation, tech and tourism sector, we move from managing disasters to managing risks.
The Living Lab is a Test-and-Learn, user-centred, co-created & open innovation ecosystem and community. The freedom to fail can lead to lasting success in the end. Building resilience is a process.
Why this is Important: A resilient community prepares, withstands and recovers from disasters, economic shocks and social crises minimising disruption to daily life.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong woman stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends herself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
