Advocate Apparel Inspired by coral reefs

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. In fact, they offer so much diversity that they are considered the underwater rainforest. Throughout the globe, corals are declining from ocean warming, acidification, pollution, disease, and human interaction.

In North America, there is only one continental barrier reef - Florida’s Coral Reef. Since the 1970s, Florida’s Coral Reef has lost approximately 90% of its stony corals. When coral reefs decline, so does our "shield" against storm impacts. During Hurricane Irma in 2017, Looe Key reef saw swells exceeding 20 feet while Mote's Florida Keys campus nearby saw only 5-foot swells, thanks to the reef's protection. Coral reefs also support diverse marine life, including sportfish species that make Florida the fishing capital of the world. Florida's Coral Reef is an ecotourism destination, and in total it's estimated to contribute more than $8 billion to the state's economy.

5% of sales from your purchase of this product are donated to the Mote Marine Laboratory's Elizabeth Moore International Center for Coral Reef Research & Restoration

Sea Fan-Atic 4 Inch Shorts - Perfect for Trips

I love my new Sea Fan-Atic 4 inch shorts. I recently went on a trip to the Philippines and between dives, I wore a similar pattern. Got so many compliments on them. Had to get another one for my arsenal.

Seems like they’d be awesome!

Loved everything about these except for the seem that runs up the front. Unfortunately it made my lower area look indecent. I had to return them.

Wonderful Fit!

I love the fit of these shorts and they are really pretty! The feel secure and have good mobility. My only complaint is the center seam on the shorts gives a camel toe that can be physically and visually uncomfortable. Other than that, love!

Comfy and practical

Love the colors and love the pockets!
