Description

Nicole Trefault opens a journal collection on how human stressors affect marine sponges and their microbes in a 2024 editorial. Oceans face fast growing threats from human activity, from runoff and overfishing to mining and climate change. Sponges filter vast amounts of water and host rich microbe communities that help cycle nutrients and build habitat.

The editorial argues that those microbe partnerships can add resilience, yet they are rarely counted in how stressors are judged. Stressors from pesticides and plastics to heat and acidity can disrupt the partnerships themselves. The collection gathers work on that neglected layer of sponge health.
