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.

Another slam dunk by Waterlust!

I did not want to love this top nearly as much as I do, but good grief they were not kidding when they said they had been doing their research into quality cuts and fabrics. To have a triangle bikini top that doesn't slide along the waistband is fantastic for one, but for another to have one that has the perfect amount of coverage, feels supportive, doesn't create bulges, survives the breast stroke and yoga stretch test without moving....get outta here! I'm a 34-36 D-DD depending on who's counting and I did have to exchange my original Medium for a Large, just due to breast coverage really, but damn if this isn't the perfect top. I've purchased the high and low rise bottoms and cropped rash guard and they've all been the best fitting and feeling swim apparel I can remember purchasing. From Spotted Eagle Ray to Spotted Eagle Bae! And the proceeds go to MOTE! (And who doesn't love MOTE?!)

Love it

Bathing suit top is great. I'm a 34DD and the medium looks great for low intensity activities. I would not be doing any beach volleyball in this top, but I wouldn't expect this type of top to give enough support for large chested people. If you want a little more coverage or support I would go up a size.
