create more open spaces in the costal area

Explanation:
I think it's the idea of creating more open spaces (air in the figurative sponge) in the coastal areas - more parks, less big buildings etc.

Por ejemplo:

El Ayuntamiento en su lugar, ha calificado más suelo, incluyendo en el nuevo sector urbanizable toda la zona densamente arbolada que circunda al edificio protegido, pero siempre sin reducir la edificabilidad y manteniendo por tanto, el mismo número de viviendas; de esta manera dicen \"esponjar\" más la zona destinada a edificación.

Ya se han construido 122
viviendas, que servirán para realojar en el mismo distrito a los afectados por las
expropiaciones previstas en el eje de la calles de la Creu Roja y Vallparad, y
permitirán esponjar el barrio, crear nuevos espacios y ampliar viales.
