Abalone Restoration Sun Suit
Incredible quality. Every detail considered. Beautiful fabric. I love everything about this company: the real life models who are scientists and beyond, how 10% goes to research and education, how you’ve sent information about the marine animal. I got this suit for sun coverage in Tahiti, but just wore it to the pool the other day. I was so comfortable swimming laps and it was the talk of the pool…everyone wanted the details! Incredible price for what you get!
Very attractive design. Fits well and comfortable to swim in.

Just got my first Waterlust purchase. I love the vibrant colors of the abalone print, and the sporty cut of this suit. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the thumb holes, but I like them! The way they are worked into the sleeve, they are optional to use or not use, depending on what you prefer. Can’t wait to jump in the water! (I'm 5'4" and about 165. Size [L], Legendary, fits well.)

Abalone is the common name for a variety of marine snails that are found throughout the world’s oceans. Sought after for their meat and their beautiful shells, populations have declined rapidly and some species are now critically endangered. Our relationship with abalone illustrates the challenges of overexploitation of the marine environment. Until the 1980’s, it was widely thought that abalone populations were resilient and could effectively rebound from harvesting activities. Unfortunately, that has not proven to be true.
Abalone are “broadcast spawners,” meaning that two individuals must be within three feet of one another to sexually reproduce. This type of reproduction makes population recovery very challenging, driving the need for humans to intervene. Marine biologist Nancy Caruso is doing just that, and founded Get Inspired, a non-profit organization that specializes in marine conservation & education.
Besides physically growing juvenile abalone along California’s coast and populating them back into the coastal kelp forest marine habitat, Nancy recognizes that protecting the ocean in the future requires educating children today. That is why she has launched a 10 year initiative to grow 100,000 abalone in classrooms across the golden state and restore them along the southern California coast, inspiring and utilizing the help of the next generation of scientists along the way. 10% of profits from your purchase will be donated to this restoration effort.
