Timeline of sampling the marine molecular environment. Early sampling included direct excision of sponge tissue by divers. In 1982, the first submersible sampling apparatus was deployed. Over 20 years later, in 2004, solid phase adsorption toxin tracking (SPATT) resin bags were employed. Ten years later, in 2014, a submersible artificial sponge apparatus and diffusion growth chamber (DGC) were described. Now finally in 2023, the In Situ Marine moleculE Logger (I-SMEL) has been introduced to maintain the integrity of the marine environment while sampling.

Summary of EXP1, EXP2, and EXP3. The I-SMEL was evaluated using three different collection experiments. Experiment 1 - the average seascape was studied. Experiment 2 - the cumulative sponge exometabolites were captured, with five different individual sponges examined across three species. Experiment 3 - an individual sponge’s exometabolites collected at three different time points were measured.
