The coral reef ecosystems that cover our globe provide essential food and habitat to over 25% of all marine life. The parrotfish is a common animal found among these ecosystems and are a crucial keystone species who are responsible for cleaning the corals from harmful algae. The abundance of parrotfish can be related directly to the health of our coral reef ecosystems.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by the spotted parrotfish (cetoscarus ocellatus)

While parrotfish come in many amazing colors and patterns, this print is inspired by a male, terminal phase spotted parrotfish, native to the Indo-Pacific. Considered the most effective reef grazer, parrotfish serve an important function in maintaining the health of coral reefs. In fact, a 2014 IUCN report surveyed the health of Caribbean coral reefs from 1970-2012 and found that one of the most impactful actions we can take to restore the health of coral reef habitat is to protect parrotfish!

If that isn’t reason enough to love these bright and beautiful fish, an individual poops up to 200 lbs of sand a year, a critical source of sediment for beaches! For example, in Vakkaru Island in the Maldives, a 2015 study found that over 85% of their beach sand had been produced by parrotfish!

Beautifu!

These swim tights are sturdy, with just enough compression to stay put (especially during paddle boarding). I have not yet tried to shorten them, but really like them so far.

Fabulously happy!

I feel like a mermaid when I pull-on my parrotfish leggings. I become giddy when I spot a parrotfish while snorkeling in these leggings. This is my third pair of waterlust leggings. My last pair lasted three years of adventures before wearing thin. I put them to the test while hiking, snorkeling, paddle boarding and practicing beach yoga. They have traveled the world. I constantly have people comment on my waterlust attire, and I proudly share with them my joy for the products, and the importance of the marine conservation, research and environmental impact the company continues to have on our planet.

very uncomfortable, returning

i bought these leggings in 2021 and loved them. new pair is thinner material, lower waist, slimmer legs, and gives me terrible camel toe. whatever happened to this brand, i'm beyond disappointed.

Gorgeous pattern and they feel really nice

These leggings are beautiful and very soft. Unfortunately they don't fit, so I'm going to have to return/exchange them.

Gloriously Gorgeous

They fit like a glove, they're super comfortable, and I feel like a beautiful fishie when I wear them. Which is all the time.

Parrotfish leggings

They feel great! Easy to adjust length.
