42 sea sponges transplanted to polluted marina — 91.7% survive and start cloning
In a remarkable experiment, scientists have introduced sea sponges into a polluted marina in Spain to investigate their resilience. The chicken kidney sponge, a particularly robust species, not only survived for an impressive 455 days but also showcased its remarkable ability to reproduce mobile clones. These developments indicate that sponges may play a critical role in ecological restoration, potentially aiding in the detoxification of contaminated coastal areas.
