Scientists identify new species of sea sponge

A UAlberta research team has published a study on the discovery of a new sponge that is abundant in the region, making up nearly 20 per cent of the live sponges in the reefs off the coast of British Columbia. The new species--called Desmacella hyalina -- was discovered using an underwater robot that travelled along the ocean floor, surveying reefs and collecting samples.
