ALLEGRA BOVERMAN/Staff photo. Gloucester Daily Times. Gloucester: Crumb of Bread Sponges have been washing up at Long Beach this week, people have been noticing. They are whitish and soft, some with a tinge of blue or green. When you break them open, they are bright yellow and look spongy. Dan Graovac of Rockport was walking his dog Abby, 3, a silky terrier, near the sponges on Friday afternoon to examine them.
