Florida's wool sponge is a natural marine organism found primarily in the waters off the coast of Florida. It belongs to the class of sponges known as Demospongiae, which are characterized by their fibrous structure. These sponges are harvested for their soft, absorbent texture, making them popular for use in bathing and cleaning products. The wool sponge is typically yellow to brown in color and can grow up to several feet in size. Sustainable harvesting practices are important to protect this valuable resource, as overharvesting can threaten local ecosystems. Conservation efforts help ensure the continued availability of Florida's wool sponge for future generations.
