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.

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!

Gift Shorts

Bought these shorts as a gift for a male friend who has another pair in a different pattern. They hold up much better than the women’s sunsuits.

Love these shorts

I have two pair now. Great for workouts - wish they had two pockets but that’s a bit. Just as good for the girls as the guys.

So good!

Fit is amazing - just right. Love the colors and pattern! Fabric is very smooth and comfortable - can't wait to get in the water!
