Advocate Apparel Inspired by the Floridan Aquifer and springs

Florida evokes daydreams of white sandy beaches and palm trees – but perhaps the most magnificent water in Florida lies just out of sight. In the Sunshine State, water fills the limestone cavities of the Floridan aquifer beneath our feet. This is the source of drinking water for 92% of Floridians. But this water is not always hidden - where it finds its way to the surface, it forms marvelous freshwater springs, which support not only human life in Florida but also incredibly diverse and unique aquatic ecosystems. In fact, Florida is home to the highest density of freshwater springs in the world – more than 1,000 of them dot the karst landscape of the sunny peninsula.

Unfortunately, increasing development and growing pressures on water resources are having negative impacts on Florida’s springs. Over the past 15 or 20 years, Florida’s burgeoning population has had a plethora of consequences for the springs, namely decreases in flow due to over-pumping and a transition from native underwater grasses to nasty algae. Nitrate levels in the springs have skyrocketed and ecosystem dynamics have changed as food webs are altered.

love love love

Have a few things from Waterlust - leggings and full body suite but had to have these after I saw my dive master in them on recent trip. Look amazing on and have same quality you expect and thicker material so can dive with just them in warm tropical water. Highly recommend.

Rash gaurd leggings

I am tall for my size and these leggings are the perfect length and fit for me. I purchased them for spending time on the water this summer and think that they will be perfect. The leggings arrived quickly and are good quality.

Size Up

I'm a 3X in most brands but these leggings were too short in the torso for me and much too small. When I bent forward, my belly flooped out. If you're a big person like myself, I'd try a different item if you can't size up.

I could tell the quality is good, and I loved the detail in the inside that shows where to adjust the length, but unfortunately I had to exchange the leggings for a different item. I'll be back if the size range increases!
