Last week, the students in our sponge research course visited The University of Oklahoma's microscope lab, where they got to use their scanning electron microscopes. They imaged gemmules from samples they collected in different places in Oklahoma.

Sponge collection was eventful with so many alligator to avoid, but we were still successful!

Water is extremely low, so our collections are extremely high! We partnered with the Pearl River Clean Sweep to help with trash collection while sampling sponges! Looking forward to seeing many of you at the sponge conference! #spongeresearch #spongehunters

Well done, Canada!
"#Sponge reefs in British Columbia are essentially living fossils. Individual sponges can survive for up to 450 years, and their communities date back some 9,000 years"
Great example of #spongeresearch used for management & #conservation.

We all have to do our part to conserve protect our #GlassSponge Reefs. Be aware of #fishing closures in the area. ow.ly/58ar30jqoDE

Heroes or villains #sponges are key reef organisms. More #spongeresearch needs to be funded to comprehend all details of their ecology & how ↗️or↘️ their biodiversity might affect marine ecosystems, & ultimately us.

Are sponges and algae jointly responsible for the down-fall of Caribbean reefs? A clear answer to this question seems to be difficult. This short article in National Geographic aims to show the range of opinions on this matter. on.natgeo.com/2ChNNiZ via @NatGeo
