Our History

The story of Bluewater Network begins in the province of Kerala, along the coastline on the western side of India’s peninsula. Dr. Russell Long, world-class sailor and environmental activist, traveled there to work with traditional fishermen to design watercraft that could serve the community as well as reduce environmental impacts on Kerala’s waterways. What he found was that the pollution from two-stroke outboard engines was destroying the way of life for these fishermen and their environment.
