Characteristic spots and stripes adorn the largest fish in the sea forming an intricate pattern, like a warrior painted for battle. Scientists use these distinctive markings to identify individual whale sharks. Like a fingerprint, each is as unique and special as the last.

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.

The Marine Megafauna Foundation is helping to shed light on the population structure, migratory patterns, and the conservation requirements of these threatened sharks. Created in 2009, they aim to research, protect and conserve the large populations of marine megafauna (large marine species) found along the Mozambican coastline. Almost all whale sharks encountered by divers are juveniles and most are males. Where the school-bus-sized mature sharks swim, what they eat, and where the females give birth has long been a mystery, however their team is now very close to making these discoveries. 5% of sales from your purchase will go to the Marine Megafauna Foundation for satellite tags that are needed to track the movements of these large female whale sharks.

“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.”

Love how comfortable and soft these are. Can't wait to wear them!

Loooove it!

It is super comfortable and I feel great wearing it. Sexy, cute and sporty! I love it.

Comfortable and nice fabric

I love it! The fabric is soft and the print is awesome. It fits great too

Adorable!!

Absolutely adorable! I am in love with these pants. These are very comfortable and great for sports! If you’re unsure of your size, I highly recommend using the website’s sizing tool.

If only the crotch area were comfortable

I purchased these shorts for kayaking and swimming. The fit is wonderful, they look great on me, but I don't understand how anyone could be comfortable with the heavy seam that runs right through the middle of the crotch. I expected there to be what I think is called a gusset panel? The hard seam goes right into the areas where I wish it wouldn't, and rubs painfully as I swim. I do think I ordered the correct size. For reference, I'm 5'6", 165 lbs, and ordered the L. I really think if there was an extra panel there, the problem would be solved, but it would probably mess up the whale shark print.

Perfect anniversary outfits for two Monterey Baes

Fun AND functional, we love snorkeling and freediving in our gear from Waterlust. It has also become our de-facto aquarium date apparel, and everyone from Mote to Shedd, and last weekend MBA, love our silly enthusiasm! Maybe next year Georgia? Thank you Waterlust!
