The stunning black and white colors of the orca make it one of the world’s most recognizable animals. As the ocean’s top predator, they play a significant role in balancing the global marine ecosystem. There are approximately 50,000 orcas left on the planet, with some subpopulations facing many threats including food limitations, chemical contaminants, and disturbances from vessel traffic and sound.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by the orca (Orcinus orca)

Orcas are the largest species in the dolphin family and can grow to be 32 feet in length and weigh in at a whopping 11 tons. They can be found worldwide and have the largest range of all cetacean (dolphin, whale, and porpoise) species. This large range has created subspecies around the world that slightly vary from one another. Orcas can be found in both open ocean and near-shore environments. These dolphins have the most varied diet of all cetaceans but vary regionally. For example, the resident orcas (those that live specifically in one geographic area) of the pacific northwest exclusively eat fish (mainly salmon) while the transient orcas (those that are just passing through a geographic area) in the same region eat marine mammals and squid.

One reason orca populations need strong conservation efforts is because of their reproductive characteristics that limit them to producing few young over a long period of time. Female orcas do not reach sexual maturity until 10-13 years of age. Once sexually active, females can only birth a single calf with each pregnancy. The gestational period lasts for 15-18 months and each calf must nurse from its mother for a year and then will remain with its mother until approximately 2 years of age. Because of this, one female orca can only produce one calf every 3.5-4 years.

All in all, the birth rate in orcas is not well understood, but these low levels of reproduction inhibit many orca populations' ability to quickly recover from environmental disturbances.

Since 1976, the Center for Whale Research (CWR) has been the leading organization studying the Southern Resident Orca population and their critical habitat of the Salish Sea. CWR is the leading voice for this gravely endangered population, having generated over four decades of scientific research and health assessments. This work has been used to inform decision-makers and elected officials about the orcas' ecosystem requirements to ensure the future viability of this playful, social, and beloved population of animals. CWR's unique on-the-water research approach entails recording information through whale encounters that provide essential social, demographic, health, and geographic information. CWR offers this information to U.S. and Canadian government agencies annually for conservation and management purposes.

I’m in love!😍

I’m in love with my new Waterlust Orca leggings! What a great style, print, and cause to support! These leggings are the perfect fit and so so comfortable. Thank you Waterlust for such a great product and equally great cause! #bviaggressor #underwaterpumpkincarving #waterlust

Comfy and cute!

Love these!! Very comfortable.

Shamu leggings

I was SO EXCITED that I saw these swim leggings! I LIVE ORCAS/ ACTUALLY all things water! Related! I teach swimming 4-5 times per week and I am a swimmer myself! I get cold very easily and have been looking for swim leggings for quite awhile! I finally got them today! I was rather disappointed that they are extremely thin. I don't know how warm they are going to keep me?? But they definitely are very very beautiful 😍!!! They very much do like like Shamu! I have not had the chance to try them on yet but the material feels very very thin. So if you are looking for a wetsuit material like these will not suit that need. But they are beautiful! The black against the white is very very pretty. I just hope it is going to up up being in the pool for as long as I am in the pool for and as frequent as I am.

Perfect

These Orca swim leggings are wonderful. The fit is great! I am quite happy with them.

Happy with the product and especially the personal service!

I'm an Orca!

I love it. Actually, I loved my Whale Shark leggings so much that I decided to get these to wear during the cooler seasons on land--I thought the pattern would be striking but workable. Nice fit, not so tight that I feel like I have compression stockings on but snug. I like the longer length and the wide waistband. For the record, I'm 5'7 and 155 at the moment, and 'L' is a little nicer for me for land. I can squeeze into a medium though.
