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 who are 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!

Awesome fit!

I love that these leggings are long enough for me (I'm 5'9") and the waistband seems comfortable and secure. These re heavier weight than expected, and they look great. I have yet to try them in the water.

Great leggings

I really like the fit and the material is of high quality. However, I won’t be getting in the water snorkeling with them on for another month so can’t comment further until I do so.

Parrotfish legging and rashguard

I just received the parrotfish legging and rashguard and I am OBSESSED! The colors are amazing and flatter the body super well. I have not used them in the water yet but from the quality I can tell that they will keep me nice and warm. I’m 5’1 and 125lbs and got a size super for both pieces. I will have to crop the leggings a bit as they are alittle long but I usually have to do that for most pants anyway. I can’t wait to use these pieces over and over again when diving!
