Known for their beautiful and unique spot patterns, spotted eagle rays fill key roles in the marine ecosystem. As both predators and prey, they eat animals such as clams and conchs, while also being eaten by large sharks. Worldwide, more than one-quarter of marine rays are threatened with extinction from targeted fisheries, bycatch and loss of habitat.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by the spotted eagle ray (Aetobatus narinari)

It is illegal to fish for or kill this beautiful and charismatic ray in Florida waters, however they are not protected under federal laws and international protections are limited as well. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), an organization that establishes the conservation status of species worldwide, lists them as near-threatened with a decreasing population trend.

In some countries, spotted eagle rays are harvested as food and are caught as bycatch (unintentional catch in commercial fisheries that target other species). Spotted eagle rays also face a variety of threats from habitat loss, harmful algal blooms, and entanglement in fishing gear. These threats, combined with their extremely low reproductive rate, make these rays vulnerable to population declines. To help create better conservation management plans for this species, Mote and other research institutions are defining the distribution, migration, feeding habits, growth rates, and reproductive biology of spotted eagle rays.

Founded by Eugenie Clark in 1955, the program has been a leader in advancing the causes of shark and ray conservation worldwide. In 2009, Mote researchers initiated their conservation research project on the life history, reproduction, and population status of the spotted eagle ray. Mote biologists have sampled, tagged and released hundreds of spotted eagle rays off the SW Florida coast to gain a better understanding of their biology, population structure and migratory patterns in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Spotted Eagle Ray Project goals are two-fold: 1) In collaboration with project partners, Mote biologists are collecting data to characterize the population structure, biology and ecology of this ray in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and Western Atlantic. 2) Mote biologists are engaging with community and citizen scientists to “rays” public awareness, enhance conservation capacity and improve educational outreach about spotted eagle rays and other marine rays around the world.

Fabulous customer service

I love this suit and when the zipper broke on a recent dive trip Waterlust rapidly sent a replacement free of charge and with zero quibbles. I have a bunch of other things from Waterlust and they are all great quality.

Beautiful Sun Suit

Loved every thing about this sun suit , except the weight . The fabric it quite thick , probably great for snorkeling or diving . For me however it was too much for swimming and hanging out on the beach . I need to cover up as I have just been diagnosed with melanoma . I also found the small size slightly too tight. 5’3” 130lbs . I didn’t try a medium . I returned the suit sadly . I wanted to love it and I did , but not for me . Don’t be influenced by my review . Give this suit a try it may be fabulous on you 🙏

Great suit!

This is my third suit and I love it! Use it for freediving and it’s just the right weight to keep me comfortable. Plus I look cool!

Excellent!

Fits perfectly
Comfortable
Beautiful!

Great suits, Great company!

I own two of the suits and one pair of leggings and I love them! I waited a while before reviewing because I wanted to see how they held up. I'm happy to say that they are well made and worth the investment! They are my go-to for a day of play in the ocean! Sun protection, comfortable fit, and a little extra warmth in the cooler ocean water. I purchased my first suit a year ago and it looks as good now as it did then. The zippers on the suits are high quality and they glide easily using the attached string. The pockets in the leggings are a nice plus too. I like to keep chapstick in there so I can reapply without even leaving the water. For reference, I'm 5'5" and weigh 125 lbs., I purchased strong in both the suits and leggings.

Love love love!

I use this gear for work where it gets absolutely thrashed and it holds up so well! This suit is so gorgeous, comfy, and provides a little extra warmth :)
