Advocate Apparel Inspired by tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier)

Tiger sharks are classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as “Near Threatened”, and thus, research, education and outreach is essential to ensuring healthy populations. As one of the ocean’s largest predators, these critical species sit at the top of the food chain, helping to regulate the delicate balance of populations of those beneath in the ecosystem. Decreased populations can result in trophic cascades, impacting the abundance and behavior of other species lower on the food chain.

Multiple research methods have shown that some species of sharks have declined in population by 90% or more during the last several decades in areas where they were formerly abundant. These declines are due to direct targeting in commercial fisheries, mostly for their fins and sometimes meat. Additionally, sharks are often caught unintentionally as bycatch in many other fisheries, caught and killed in some recreational fisheries (unlike catch and release), and may also be impacted by humans more indirectly through threats like habitat loss, pollution, and human-driven declines in the fish species sharks rely on for food.

The Shark Research & Conservation Program (SRC) at the University of Miami conducts cutting-edge shark research while also inspiring scientific literacy and environmental ethic in youth through unique hands-on field research experiences. Every year, SRC brings out thousands of people, mostly school-children, on their research boats to survey, sample, tag and study sharks. Opportunities are especially made available for under-served populations in the sciences. SRC’s science focuses broadly on understanding the effects of environmental change on the behavioral ecology and conservation biology of sharks in a human‐altered world.

"We are so proud of our collaboration with Waterlust. Not only does their support help enable our shark conservation research, but the apparel itself is a walking billboard for marine conservation. I love it when people on the street stop to ask me about my tiger shark board shorts. It's an opportunity to start a conversation about the wonders and perils faced by sharks and how the average person can help make a difference.”

Tiger Shark Trailblazer Sun Suit

Simply Obsessed!

I can’t say enough about this sun suit. I wear mine every day under my wetsuit for work and it is perfect. I absolutely love the pattern and the fabric is so comfortable! Had a small problem with the zipper on the first one I ordered but customer service was more than willing to exchange it for a new one. Highly recommend!

Love it!

I love just about everything about this. The overall fit, the fabric, the little thumb pockets, the high neck. There's only two things that I'm less than thrilled about: the cut on the thighs is pretty tight compared to the rest of the fit, and the pattern doesn't seem as crisp and clean as the online pictures. It's still a fantastic sun suit and I will enjoy being able to use it!

Gorgeous and great quality

I wasn't confident that this sun suit would fit me since I have an odd body shape, but it was perfect. Coverage is great and I can easily zip and unzip it myself. I haven't been able to test it in the water yet, but I don't expect any issues based on the quality of the material.
