Advocate Apparel Inspired by tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier)

Tiger sharks are classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as “Near Threatened”, and thus, research, education and outreach is essential to ensuring healthy populations. As one of the ocean’s largest predators, these critical species sit at the top of the food chain, helping to regulate the delicate balance of populations of those beneath in the ecosystem. Decreased populations can result in trophic cascades, impacting the abundance and behavior of other species lower on the food chain.

Multiple research methods have shown that some species of sharks have declined in population by 90% or more during the last several decades in areas where they were formerly abundant. These declines are due to direct targeting in commercial fisheries, mostly for their fins and sometimes meat. Additionally, sharks are often caught unintentionally as bycatch in many other fisheries, caught and killed in some recreational fisheries (unlike catch and release), and may also be impacted by humans more indirectly through threats like habitat loss, pollution, and human-driven declines in the fish species sharks rely on for food.

"We are so proud of our collaboration with Waterlust. Not only does their support help enable our shark conservation research, but the apparel itself is a walking billboard for marine conservation. I love it when people on the street stop to ask me about my tiger shark board shorts. It's an opportunity to start a conversation about the wonders and perils faced by sharks and how the average person can help make a difference.”

Great suit in a great pattern!

The quality of this suit really impressed me: the construction, design, and the fabric itself, which is much more substantial than you might expect. I am 5’0” and under 100 pounds and got the xs. It fits fine (although I feel the rear coverage could be a tad more substantial). I was worried that the sleeves might be too long and although they are a tad long for my rather short arms I can still get the thumb holes to align properly. I plan to sue this on extended snorkel sessions and I have no doubt it will prove its worth.

quality +++

Perfect fit, love the quality of the fabric - thin, but not wimpy-thin, and really strong. Also very flattering. I sew my own clothes and so am really fussy with fabric… and I LOVE this. Will be ordering another one soon! I bought both top and pants. This review is for both.

So cool!

This tiger sunsuit is absolutely gorgeous:)
I ordered quite a few different items and was a bit worried about the sizes since they was to be shipped half way around the World. Followed the size guide and all the items fit perfectly. I love that they use different size models- this makes it easier to choose the right clothing size. Shipping was also fast:)
