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.

10% of profits from your purchase of this product are donated to the Marine Megafauna Foundation

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. 10% of profits 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.”

Bought two reversible tops

I wanted my top to fit properly so I purchased two tops and will use one to add length to the other so it fit properly. As a large busted woman I found the top was not long enough to cover my breasts. Hopefully this will work. I will take to a tailor to get it fitted properly.

Perfect!!

Got these tops (whale shark and sun kissed) to go snorkelling in the Galapagos. I wore these under a rash guard and I was wearing a shortie wetsuit . I am 5 foot 3 Bust is 42" and under bust is 38" - the 2XL was perfect size. Very comfortable!! When wet it was a (not quite) a challenge to get off so it is not going anywhere. I can see wearing these all summer while going Kayaking under a rash shirt (I burn very easily). Will be nice for swimming.

So Soft!

This fits me perfectly and is so soft and comfortable. No seams that irritate, feels great on and I can't wait to try it out!

Too small

Usually wear L sometimes XL so I ordered both -and they were both too small . Returned.

So comfortable

I was not expecting how comfortable these tops would be. They also look great on. Very pleased with this purchase.
