A study on marine sponges was conducted by SCUBA diving at Ulleungdo Island and Gageodo Island, Korea during the period from July 2000 to October 2001. Two species, Clathria (Clathria) gombawuiensis n. sp. and Clathria (C) gageoensis n. sp., are new to the fauna of sponges. Clathria (C) gombawuiensis n. sp. closely relates to Clathria (C) conica Levi, 1963 based on the type of spicules, but differs in size of spicules and growth form, Clathria (C) conica has not small toxa. Clathria (C) gageoensis n. sp. is similar to Clathria (C) hexagonopora Levi, 1963, but it differs in size of spicules and growth form, also Clathria (C) hexagonopora has not small toxa.

A study on marine sponges was conducted with the materials collected by SCUBA diving in Hongdo and Gageodo Islands, Korea from September 2004 to July 2005. Clathria (Clathria) hongdoensis n. sp. and Clathria (Clathria) sohuksanensis n. sp. turned out to be new to the science. Clathria (Clathria) hongdoensis n. sp. closely seems to C. (C.) acanthstyli Hoshino (1981), based on their spicules type. However, they differ in the size of spicules and growth form. Clathria (Clathria) sohuksanensis n. sp. is similar to C. (C.) bicalthrata Hooper (1996), except for lacking small toxas.

A new species of genus Clathria (Microciona) (Demospongiae: Poecilosclerida: Microcionidae), Clathria (Microciona) sinyangensis n. sp. was collected from Intertidal zone by hand at Seopjikoji, Sinyang, Jejudo Island, Korea on 15 Oct. 2008. C. (M.) sinyangensis n. sp. is closely related to C. (M.) pennata Lambe, 1895 in their spicules, but thick subtylostyle of new species is smaller than that of C. (M.) pennata's and has three sizes of toxa. Also, the new species has no dermal membrane.

Three species of Poecilosclerid sponge (class Demospongiae, subclass Ceractinomorpha) are newly described from the waters around Cheju Island Keomun Island and Keoje Island. They are Antho (Plocamia) bakusi, Clathria (clathria) koreana and Oxymycale rhoi.

The identified Ceratinomorpha consist of 41 species, 21 genera and 12 families. Among them, two species, Clathria mosulpia and Haliclona ulreungia, were new species and the following species were new to Korea: Ophlitaspongia pennata california De Laubenfels, 1936, Desmacella rosea Fristedt, 1887, Clathria dayi Levi, 1963, Clathria parva Levi, 1963, Ax-ociella cylindrica Hallman, 1920, Axocielita calla (De Laubenfels, 1934), Myxilla sigmatifera ( (Levi, 1963), Haliclona perlucida (Griessinger, 1971), Petrosia nigricans Lindgren, 1897, G Gel/ius arcoferus Vosmaer, 1885, Reniera ventillabrum Fristedt, 1887, Reniera pigmentifera D Dendy, 1905, and Coelosphaera physa (Schmidt, 1875)

Two new marine sponges, Clathria(Clthria) gimnyeoungenesis n. sp. and Clathria(Clthria) reticularis n. sp., were collected in Jejudo Island, Korea by fishing nets in September 1994. C.(C.) gimnyeoungenesis n. sp. is closely related to C.(C.) toxipraedita Topsent, 1913 based on spicule types, but are different in the size of spicules and growth forms. Especially, the thick styles and large toxas length of this species are half of C.(C.) toxipraedita. Growth form of the new species is branched but massive encrusting in C.(C.) toxipraedita. C.(C.) reticularis n. sp. is similar to C.(C.) compressa Schmidt, 1862 based on spicule types, but are different in the size of spicules. Especially, large toxas of this new species is twice as long as C.(C.) compressa and they have large isochelae, which are absent in the latter.

Some marine sponges were collected from Jindo Island, Kuryongpo and Chejudo Island during the period from 1986 to 1999. Among the identified species, two species Myxichera spinuloso (Tanita, 1968) and Clathria (Clathria) acanthostyli (Hoshino, 1981) are new to the Korean fauna.

Two new marine sponges, Clathria (Clthria) jungtaedoensis n. sp. and Antho (Antho) hataedoensis n. sp. were collected in Taedo Island, Korea. C. (C.) jungtaedoensis n. sp. is similar to C. (C.) striata. The new species, however, has many small toxa and massive form. A. (A.) hataedoensis n. sp. is similar to A. (A.) inconstans from Gulf of Naples, Italy, but differs from the latter in the size of spicules. The toxa in the new species is about one third as long as A. (A.) inconstans's.

The sponge specimens were collected from Geojedo Island, Korea During from 1994 to 1998 with fishing nets or by scuba divers. They were identified into 34 species of 25 genera in 15 families, of which the one species, Tedania rhoi is a new speices, and Clathria (Axociella) simae is new to the Korean fauna. This species were redescribed.

A taxonomic study of the marine sponges was conducted with the materials collected from Gageodo Island (Sohuksando), Korea from August 1999 to July 2001. The sponges were identified into 35 species, 23 genera, 16 families, six orders, two subclasses and a class. Among them, two of Polymastia murrayi Burton, 1959 and Clathria (Thalysias) spicata Gray, 1924, are newly recorded to Korean fauna, and Stylocordyla korenna n. sp. is new to science.
