Benthic habitat mapping of the glass sponge (<i>Vazella pourtalesii</i>), and associated community composition on Sambro Bank, Scotian Shelf, Canada Open
Sponges have been identified as ecosystem engineers, providing habitat structure for many other benthic organisms, but are vulnerable to the impacts of bottom contact fishing. The Sambro Bank Sponge Conservation Area (SBSCA) protects a glo…
