Twenty-two-year-old Logan Williams (Ngāi Tahu) is an inventor, entrepreneur, and innovator, and the chief executive and founder of Biome Innovation Ltd.  Growing up in Timaru, he saw firsthand the rivers he loved become infected with a brown sludge called didymo (Didymosphenia Geminata). Inspired to find a solution, he set about creating a range of materials with the goal of restoring New Zealand's waterways to a pristine condition - a process captured in a new Loading Docs documentary called What Logan Did.
