Advocate Apparel Inspired by the Floridan Aquifer and springs

Florida evokes daydreams of white sandy beaches and palm trees – but perhaps the most magnificent water in Florida lies just out of sight. In the Sunshine State, water fills the limestone cavities of the Floridan aquifer beneath our feet. This is the source of drinking water for 92% of Floridians. But this water is not always hidden - where it finds its way to the surface, it forms marvelous freshwater springs, which support not only human life in Florida but also incredibly diverse and unique aquatic ecosystems. In fact, Florida is home to the highest density of freshwater springs in the world – more than 1,000 of them dot the karst landscape of the sunny peninsula.

Unfortunately, increasing development and growing pressures on water resources are having negative impacts on Florida’s springs. Over the past 15 or 20 years, Florida’s burgeoning population has had a plethora of consequences for the springs, namely decreases in flow due to over-pumping and a transition from native underwater grasses to nasty algae. Nitrate levels in the springs have skyrocketed and ecosystem dynamics have changed as food webs are altered.

10% of profits from your purchase of this product are donated to the Alachua Conservation Trust

Thankfully there are many passionate citizens and non-profit organizations that advocate for our springs, work to protect them, and raise awareness about their unique beauty as well as their decline. One of these groups is the Alachua Conservation Trust, a non-profit regional land trust created to address the need of protecting critical natural lands from development and degradation in North Central Florida. 10% of profits from our springs prints go their Young Leaders for Wild Florida program. YLWF supports participants to become Florida's next generation of environmental leaders through educational outdoor adventures, workshops with leaders in our community exploring environmental issues and career paths, and student-led advocacy projects.

OBSESSED with these shorts!

These shorts are absolutely fantastic. I love the zipper pocket. The material is incredibly high quality and the drawstring is sturdy. I spend a lot of time in the water at work and for recreation, so it is important that my swimwear is durable and fits well. I wish the sizing for the shorts was a little more specific. I also purchased the swim top from this collection, which fit perfectly thanks to the size chart. However, I ended up having to exchange the shorts for a smaller size because of the lack of specifics. That being said, both the top and the shorts are comfortable, durable, and I look forward to purchasing again when the time comes!

Super pro!

Our surf instructors wear these shorts for teaching in. Not only are they durable and functional but they are beautiful and immediately spark conversations. The conservation story is fun to tell and share with our guests, inspires them, and helps to share our overall passion to be a part of making this world a better place and ties in perfectly with our Eco Resort mission.
Thank you for all you do WL!
