The coral reef ecosystems that cover our globe provide essential food and habitat to over 25% of all marine life. The parrotfish is a common animal found among these ecosystems and are a crucial keystone species, responsible for cleaning the corals from harmful algae. The abundance of parrotfish can be related directly to the health of our coral reef ecosystems.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by the spotted parrotfish (cetoscarus ocellatus)

While parrotfish come in many amazing colors and patterns, this print is inspired by a male, terminal phase spotted parrotfish, native to the Indo-Pacific. Considered the most effective reef grazer, parrotfish serve an important function in maintaining the health of coral reefs. In fact, a 2014 IUCN report surveyed the health of Caribbean coral reefs from 1970-2012 and found that one of the most impactful actions we can take to restore the health of coral reef habitat is to protect parrotfish!

If that isn’t reason enough to love these bright and beautiful fish, an individual poops up to 200 lbs of sand a year, a critical source of sediment for beaches! For example, in Vakkaru Island in the Maldives, a 2015 study found that over 85% of their beach sand had been produced by parrotfish!

Love!

I recently purchased these 8" shorts. I am 5'11" and 175 lbs and the XL fits perfectly. The colors are beautiful. I am very happy to have these for ocean swimming.

Triathlon Worthy Parrotfish Payyuunts

The colors and pattern are so vibrant, and the shorts are a great solution to the question "what do I wear under my wetsuit for open water swims"? This is the answer! They don't ride up or chafe at all and I feel confident wearing them. When it is finally warm enough to shed the wetsuit, these shorts will swim fine on their own (with the matching parrotfish top!). It's so great to know that the real parrotfish out there will benefit from the proceeds from my purchase. Thank you, Waterlust!!
