What is a Natural Sea Sponge?
A natural sea sponge is the simplest form of multi-cellular animal. It is the second lowest life form on earth next to the amoeba. Are classified as animals because thy grow by consuming organic materials instead photosynthesis.
Sponges belong to the class of Phylum Porifera which denotes that their ’body’ is covered by numerous pores. These multi-numbered pores are very important for the life of the sponge and they must be kept freely open for them to ’breath’ properly. This is why the sea sponges are very vulnerable to sea oil pollution when their surface is covered with a fine film of oil, the pores get blocked and the sponge can’t ’breath’.
Sea sponges are of course of the simplest form of multi-cellular animals. They live in deep seas attaching themselves to the sea bottom and in locations rich of food for them Sponges found in the Mediterranean Greek Sea are considered of the best quality, followed by the Red Sea sponges and the West Indian sponges. Sponges of lower quality can be found throughout the world’s seas and also in freshwaters.
