Sponges play a crucial role in the health of mangrove ecosystems. They filter water, removing bacteria and organic matter, which helps keep the water clean. Mangrove roots provide a stable structure for sponges to attach and grow. Studies show that sponges can filter up to 20,000 times their volume in water every day, significantly improving water quality​ (IUCN)​. This symbiotic relationship benefits both the sponges, which gain a secure place to live, and the mangroves, which thrive in cleaner water.
