Whether hitting the water for a sunny day adventure or tackling that long postponed yard project at high noon, our silky smooth sun masks (neck gaiter) protect your nose, ears, lips, cheeks, and neck from UV exposure.

Iridescent blues, metallic silvers and golden copper hues flash and reflect the light as a sailfish shifts its colors with it’s changing mood. Specialized, pigment containing cells within the skin called chromatophores and iridophores receive signals from the nervous system, resulting in a startling display of colors from what many consider to be the fastest fish in the sea.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by sailfish (Istiophorus)

Sailfish (Istiophorus), also known as billfish (along with swordfish, marlin, and spearfish) are characteristically known for their elongated nasal bones which form the “bill”, and their dorsal fin (known as a sail) that stretches the length of their back. Their aerodynamic bodies and long bills are built for speed, and many consider them to be the fastest fish in the ocean. This speed, agility, and dynamic nature make them one of the world's most renowned sportfish for recreational anglers.

A sailfish is tagged with an ID tag

Tags provide valuable scientific data to further understand growth rates, migratory patterns, habitat utilization, and post-release survival rates.

Our purpose in creating this print is to tell the story of these fish and capture some of the iridescent colors that make them so special. As one of the ocean's top predators, they play an important role in the ecosystem and as prized sportfish they sustain important recreational fisheries, making them both economically and culturally important. We believe fishermen (and women!) can be some of the strongest advocates for the ocean and the species that inhabit it. Our Tag & Release Sailfish print represents this exciting species and promotes responsible fishing practices.These include tag & release fishing and minimizing the stress experienced by a fish while caught. Continued research, education, and responsible policy management benefits both sailfish populations and the recreational fishing industry that advocates for them.

TBF is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission of conserving billfish worldwide through research, education, and advocacy. Their keystone program, the traditional tagging program, was begun in 1990 and today it has grown to be the largest private international billfish tagging database in the world. TBF receives about 6-7000 tagged fish reports and about 7-10,000 released fish (without tags) reports each year globally, totaling nearly 250,000 tag and release records which provide vital information for billfish conservation.

"Waterlust's partnership with The Billfish Foundation is invaluable. Through their products and platform, we can introduce people to billfish (possibly for the first time) and their importance to the ecosystem and communities alike. The funding from their advocacy apparel supports the projects that are the cornerstones (research, advocacy, and education) of TBF’s success in billfish conservation."
