The coral reef ecosystems that cover our globe provide essential food and habitat to over 25% of all marine life. The parrotfish is a common animal found among these ecosystems and are a crucial keystone species who are responsible for cleaning the corals from harmful algae. The abundance of parrotfish can be related directly to the health of our coral reef ecosystems.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by the spotted parrotfish (cetoscarus ocellatus)

While parrotfish come in many amazing colors and patterns, this print is inspired by a male, terminal phase spotted parrotfish, native to the Indo-Pacific. Considered the most effective reef grazer, parrotfish serve an important function in maintaining the health of coral reefs. In fact, a 2014 IUCN report surveyed the health of Caribbean coral reefs from 1970-2012 and found that one of the most impactful actions we can take to restore the health of coral reef habitat is to protect parrotfish!

If that isn’t reason enough to love these bright and beautiful fish, an individual poops up to 200 lbs of sand a year, a critical source of sediment for beaches! For example, in Vakkaru Island in the Maldives, a 2015 study found that over 85% of their beach sand had been produced by parrotfish!

Parrotfish Protection Leggings

LOVE WATERLUST!

I'm such a fan of this brand! I'm a divemaster in Hawaii, and spend a LOT of time in the ocean :) I've dabbled in other brands of ocean leggings and tops, and I've yet to find another brand that even comes close to the durability of this brand. Even the first pair of leggings (whale shark) I got maybe 5 years ago looks brand new still! I have built quite a Waterlust wardrobe over the years, and I get the most compliments on my parrotfish gear. It's just so pretty and colorful! I recently traveled to Raja Amapat and the water was so warm I didn't need a wetsuit! I was stoked to still have the protection from larval stings with my Waterlust gear. Not enough good things to say about this brand! Love it!

loving my parrotfish leggings

Pretty sure the parrotfish admired my gorgeous parrotfish leggings when I snorkeled with them. I felt like one of them.

Great swim leggings!

These fit so nicely and the fabric is incredible. Cannot wait to wear them for snorkeling.

Love

I recently moved to a beach in Mexico. In order to really enjoy life here I need to maximize my UV protection. These clothes are made for use in the ocean, so the technical aspects will help me save my skin. But the fabric is beautiful. I feel like I’m gonna be the prettiest mermaid! I am 5 foot 11, 175 pounds, and the extra large fits perfectly.

Lovely!

The colors are so vivid—even prettier in real life. I’m a pretty medium medium and these provide some compression but aren’t tight.
