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, responsible for cleaning the corals of 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!

It’s perfect

I have looked all over for a plus size dive skin/sun skin that was not just black. I wanted bright colors so I could been seen in the water. Most women’s rash guards are 2 pieces and don’t stay where you want them. I thought the price was steep but I finally caved and I am so glad I did. I am an apple shape with a 50” waist and the 3x is a perfect snug fit. The material is much thicker than your standard swimsuit and it feels amazing on. I cannot wait to get to enjoy the sun again.

Cool suit I’ll use for scuba diving

I had hoped to use this suit for hanging out on the beach but I find the material too heavy and too warm for that purpose so I will use it for scuba diving in warmer waters. The XL fit well (I am 5’10” and 170 lbs). The quality is good and I’m pleased.

I love it

I love this wet suit, even though I’ve only tried it on. I do wish it was longer in the torso, I’m a tall person.

New Kayaking outfit

This fits my daughter perfectly! She's an avid nature-lover and just loved the print. Applying sunscreen is a real task and with this suit, she doesn't have to at all. When we go kayaking, she's completely covered.
