He was reunited with Mr Paslier during a 'fact-finding' seaweed day hosted in Cardiff Metropolitan University to discuss new investment and innovation in the sector. 'The amount of benefits of seaweed farming are great, it's sort of an untapped resource at the moment, like we're scratching away at the top,' he told the co-founders.

The visit marked part of the environmental prize's mission to both discover and scale up pioneering solutions to the most pressing climate issues.
