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!

Not built for larger breasts

I love, love, love all my Waterlust leggings, so I figured I would try out the tops. I’m a 36 DD and ordered a Lg. It was just all around the wrong shape. The girls fit, but I had a good 4 inches that I could pinch from the shoulders. Comfy fabric, just not built for me.

Very comfortable and excellent quality

Took my new parrotfish top and leggings to French Polynesia. They were extremely comfortable, and I am very impressed with the quality of the material. Was so nice not having to slather on tons of sunscreen all over my legs. The coral is very sharp in these waters, and the material is thick enough to provide a little protection, but also light enough that it never feels heavy or hot. Loved these pieces so much that as soon as the full body sun suit with front zipper launched, I bought it right away and now I have to plan another exotic trip so I can break that new sun suit in! Now if they would just invent the 9" shorts in parrotfish, my collection would be complete :) For reference, I am 5'6" and 155 lbs, and I did not shorten the pants.
