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.

5% of sales 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.

good fit, great quality, pretty fabric

Fountain of Youth/Mermaid Camo Reversible Top

Fantastic

I’m sort of in between a L and XL so I have a couple different prints in both sizes- the L gives a little more compression/support so I wear that as a sports Bra and under my wetsuit. The XL as more of a bathing suit top. Both are very comfortable and being reversible, the double lining gives excellent coverage. The fabric is soft but really durable and the colors are beautiful- much higher quality compared to a similar product from another company that makes surfskins - also Waterlust has the absolute best customer service I’ve ever encountered…

Wonderful

It's super comfy and has great coverage for a plus sized top!

Great material and design but missing paddings

Loved the cause and the vibrant prints. Was planning on getting multiple sets, but gave up the thought after realising the top comes without paddings.
Definitely not something you can wear (even with a rash guard on top) in conservative cultures.
