These natural broodstock sea sponges are farmed sustainably using organic methods. Cuttings from wild sponges were cultivated and are now grown on lines submerged in the lagoon of Pohnpei, a remote Pacific Island. These take over one year to grow and the farmers tend their crops from canoes, using only a mask and snorkel. MERIP, a non-profit organisation, offers training in self-sustainability projects to the indigenous people of Pohnpei. Pohnpei is the only place in the world where sponges are commercially farmed.
