Advocate Apparel Inspired by the largest fish in the sea, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus)

Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are fish, not whales - allowing them to hold the esteemed title of "largest fish in the sea" (since sharks are fish too!). These charismatic creatures can reach lengths of 12 meters (40 feet) or more! Despite their large size, they feed on some of the smallest organisms in the sea, plankton. Hanging vertically in the water column they're able to suction feed and filter these tiny organisms through their gill rakers much like a giant vacuum cleaner pulls dust and dirt from a kitchen floor, filtering the fragments into its chamber within.

Unfortunately, approximately 100 million sharks are killed every year by humans, through direct targeted fishing efforts as well as unintended bycatch from other fisheries. The whale shark is one species of shark that is particularly vulnerable to this commercial fishing due to their high value in international trade, in addition to their highly migratory nature and normally low abundance. Research into the lives of these gentle giants can help us to manage their populations and keep these magnificent fish in the ocean where they belong.

“Waterlust's support provides critical seed funding for us to rapidly develop and implement whale shark conservation projects in areas where this globally-endangered species is most at risk. This includes Mozambique, where our research and awareness work helped the government decide to fully protect whale sharks just a few weeks ago. We love working with a company that is so committed to making a positive change in the world.”

The best!

This is so cute and super comfy. The size chart was also right on point for me (size S for 32D). I can't wait to order more!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

This has become my new favorite top for not only surfing and diving but also jujitsu and yoga too! It’s comfortable, high quality material and doesn’t have those annoying bra pads (but it’s thick material and doesn’t need it). I’m going to purchase more styles for sure!

Great fitting sports bra!

I have been searching for a sports bra that would fit my large rib cage paired with a small bust size, and your Whale Shark reversible top is perfect. Add an excellent design, recycled material and a worthy cause and this sports top is so worth it! Thanks for

Para-Swim Approved

I'm a para-swimmer and this is probably the most comfortable swim top I've ever owned (and I've gone through a lot). It's supportive, sleek, and allows for full range of movement, which is essential for me as my upper body does all the work swimming. Plus, the whale shark print is so cute! I feel like a beautiful aquatic creature wearing this. It also works as a lovely sports bra when not in the water.
